Scotland's T in the Park music festival is off to a solemn start following the deaths of two people, as reported by the_ Guardian_.

The largest Scottish festival kicked off yesterday (July 7) at Strathallan Castle in Perthshire, which is expected to host upwards of 80,000 attendees over three days. Presently, details surrounding the situation are scarce, though it's confirmed that the deaths involve one male and one female. According to the BBC, both were 17 years old. Police are reportedly treating them as separate, unexplained incidents, though neither is thought to be suspicious.

T in the Park director Geoff Ellis told the BBC, "We are shocked and saddened by today's news and our thoughts are with the families and friends at this time. We are offering our full support and assistance."
