Scottish heritage to the fore at Waipū's Art N Tartan

There was more tartan than you could wave a clan at the annual Art 'n Tartan Wearable Art Awards at Waipū over the weekend.

This year's event was split into three shows - a magical "opening night" performance on Friday, followed an afternoon "matinee performance" and finally topped off with an inspiring "awards evening" of light and sound both on Saturday.

All performances were at the Waipū Celtic Barn on Caledonian Park.

Here are some of the images form the event, with full results later.
