A man and a woman have died in separate incidents at T in the Park Festival today.
The deaths at Strathallan Castle in Perthshire are currently being treated as unexplained.
A spokesperson told the Daily Mirror: "Police Scotland can confirm we are investigating reports of the death of a female and the separate death of a male at T in the Park.
"The deaths are unexplained at this time and work is ongoing to establish the exact circumstances surrounding both. We are unable to comment further at this stage."

Campers have been arriving at the three-day festival since yesterday. The Stone Roses are headlining the festival later today.
Scottish MP Liz Smith said: "This is tragic news and I am sure I echo the sentiments of everyone when we send condolences to the families involved and, indeed, to the organisers of T in the Park who have worked hard this year to overcome last year's concerns about public safety.
"Clearly, an investigation now has to take place and I hope this will be undertaken as quickly as possible.
"It is essential that police establish exactly what happened and why."
The festival moved to Strathallan Castle last year, after 18 years at Balado, because of health and safety concerns at the old site.
