A teenager was matched with a 32-year-old woman at Belladrum Blind Date in the bid to find their ‘forever love’.

Thousands of eager festival-goers have been filling up the Belladrum Festival site near Beauly as the three-day event continues.

About 20,000 revellers have been enjoying a feast of music, dance and entertainment during the event which is celebrating 20 years.

However, this year Belladrum hosted a special event for those seeking to find love, and where better to do so than at the Highlands ultimate Tartan Heart Festival.

After recruiting four single ladies from the audience and their ‘future husband’, Venus Guytrap, who hosted the show, lined them up and began asking some hard-hitting questions.

Lucy, from Inverness, Katie, from the Isle of Lewis, Montana from Aberdeenshire and Jill from Fife were the lucky ladies to be picked.

Dougie (18), from Inverness, was the young man selected to be on the panel and found out everything he needed to know about his future Mrs.

From learning what circus act they would be, to their best chat-up lines, Dougie was impressed by the standard of ‘good craic’.

After a humorous question time from the contestants, Venus Guytrap began to ask Dougie to sing the ladies his favourite tune, to which he initially refused.

However, after a little help from the crowd, and Venus herself, Dougie began to sing his rendition of ‘We Are The Champions’ by Queen.

The crowd were elated to hear the duo sing, however two of the girls were not Dougie’s biggest fans of his singing voice.

Therefore, through the process of elimination, Dougie decided to stick with Lucy and Katie as they somewhat praised his voice.

Venus Guytrap then asked the ladies to recap on their answers to discover the final verdict; who would Dougie match with?

After choosing ‘girl number one’, Katie, Venus soon disclosed that the couple would receive a free wedding hosted by Belladrum next year if they were still together.

As the anticipation grew, the barrier was released and the pair met for the first time.

Venus introduced Dougie to Katie (32) by saying ‘meet your new mother!’.

The couple laughed at the situation, but decided to go their separate ways.
