Perthshire Amber is a music festival that took place annually in central Scotland from 2005 to 2016. First organised by Dougie MacLean as a two-day event in 2005, within a few years it had grown to a 10-day event. The 2016 event scaled back to four days in length and the festival is not scheduled to be held in 2017.

History[edit]

In 2005 it began as a two-day event. It was sold-out in its third year.[1] The fifth festival in 2009 was held over ten days.[2]

In 2014, around 9000 visitors were expected to attend shows at 25 venues, featuring more than 350 musicians.[3]

In 2016, the 12th year the festival was held, it was scaled back to four days.[4]

After the 2016 festival, MacLean announced that the organisers would take a break and that there would not be a festival held in 2017.[5]
