The Sun on Sunday's pictures show the pair arriving at Luton airport where they chatted and joked before flying to Edinburgh on a £3.5million private jet.
In another snap Paul, 59, is seen at Liam's North London mansion on Friday.
A source said: 'Liam is supporting Paul through this. He invited him to stay with him at his house before they travelled to Edinburgh.
'Paul looked like he was moving in and had two large suitcases. When he was at the airport he only had one smaller case.'

The source added: 'It says a lot about Liam. He has an incredibly hectic schedule at the moment because of the tour — but he wants to be there for his big brother.'
Paul is on bail accused of rape, strangulation and coercive control, said to relate to one alleged victim.
He faces a total of 11 charges including sexual assault, actual bodily harm and threats to kill and is due at Westminster magistrates' court on August 27.
Last month Liam was believed to have dedicated hit Stand By Me to Paul as he and Noel, 58, played Wembley.

He did not name Paul but beat his chest after telling the packed stadium: 'I've got to dedicate this next tune to our kid.'
On Friday and last night Oasis played in front of 70,000 fans at Murrayfield.
Paul lives in a North London flat bought for him by Noel in 2004.

Paul is set to play as a DJ at the Ultimate Oasis Weekender after-show party following their gig at Croke Park — just 11 days before his court date.
The band will then leave for dates in Canada, the US, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Australia and South America.

The three brothers grew up in Burnage, Manchester, but Paul has never been involved with the band. However, he said in an interview: 'I always had the cool records.'
His 1996 book Brothers: From Childhood to Oasis — The Real Story charted Liam and Noel's struggle for success and how they coped with stardom.
It was written with the full co-operation of mum Peggie and included previously unpublished family photographs.

'Oasis were up for days and broke up on stage because of drugs I gave them'
A California rocker who supported Oasis during their infamous Whiskey-a-Go-Go show on their first US tour has recounted how the Supersonic hitmakers had taken drugs dished out by him prior to the show. Joel Gion, the 'tambourine-playing frontman' of California psychedelic rockers The Brian Jonestown Massacre, released his explosive memoir In The Jingle Jangle Jungle: Keeping Time with The Brian Jonestown Massacre last year - detailing the first decade of the iconic, yet volatile, band. One of the stories Joel tells in the memoir is the infamous Whisky-a-Go-Go in California in the '90s when the outfit opened for Oasis on their first US tour, a show immortalised for many Oasis fans in the 2016 documentary Supersonic. Oasis perform at the Whiskey-a-Go-Go (Image: YouTube) The Mancunian Britpop icons had headed across to the pond for their Definitely Maybe tour in 1994, at a point when the band was making headlines for their raucous behaviour and rock star lifestyle. This reached a climax on September 29 at the iconic Whisky-a-Go-Go. Some of Oasis had been using "major blackbelt amphetamines" before the infamous show which ended in a complete disaster, pushing Noel to quit the group for a few days. During the chaotic drug-fuelled set, which quickly became one of the most talked-about trainwreck shows from the group, some of the songs were barely held together, with Liam also changing lyrics in the set. Joel, in an interview with the Irish Mirror, said he was 'sinking in his seat' while watching the Supersonic documentary, knowing that the outfit had taken drugs belonging to him. "We had a Reckless Records store in San Francisco on Haight Street at the time, and I worked there. I saw them listed in the paper at this quaint little rock club, and I've been buying the first three singles as they came out. Joel Gion in his younger days with the Brian Jonestown Massacre "So the record wasn't out yet, it was out in two weeks, we got on this bill, just in that two weeks, you know, the Supersonic video came out, and then MTV grabbed it, and then they were huge. "They could have played a place five times as big, and as well as they're playing this little club with us. This whole story is in my book, I recount this one and it was also double bizarre because Blur and Pulp were on tour together at the same time. "So we had Blur and Pulp and Justine (Frischmann) from Elastica was there because she was going out with Damon (Albarn) so they had this whole scene going on in the pool room and we're waiting to go on, it's like Britpop central of the planet. "It sounds crazy, but it's all completely legit. I was into drugs and they were into drugs so I tried to give them (Liam and Noel) some drugs. They didn't want to do the kind of drugs I had, well Noel didn't.

(Photo by Samir Hussein/WireImage) "Then my friend who was bringing my drugs ran into Liam outside after the soundcheck and he wanted to do my drugs that she had so he did my drugs and then these drugs are pretty strong, we are talking about major blackbelt amphetamines. I don't do that stuff now, I haven't for a long time." He added: "So they were up for three days and broke up on stage at the Whisky because they were just going mad. When I watched the movie Supersonic in a theatre in San Francisco and during that scene, I was just like sinking in my seat!" Liam and Noel Gallagher announced last August that they would perform together for the first time since Oasis' dramatic split in 2009. The Oasis Live '25 tour kicked off in Cardiff's Principality Stadium in July, before moving on to Manchester, London and Edinburgh. The band have two sold-out performances in Dublin's Croke Park on Saturday August 16 and Sunday August 17.

The best pics from Oasis' past Irish gigs as reunion tour heads to Croke Park
Oasis are gearing up to play two sold-out shows at Dublin's Croke Park this weekend in what will be the Britpop legend's first gigs on Irish soil since 2008. Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher will play to 160,000 adoring Irish fans over this Saturday and Sunday after the pair finally settled their long-running feud last year and announced their much-anticipated reunion tour following a 15-year hiatus The Gallagher brothers have a long history with Ireland - their parents' homeland. Their mother Peggy was born Charlestown, Co Mayo and moved to the UK in 1961 aged 18, originally working as a housekeeper in Manchester. It was there where she met Thomas Gallagher, who hailed from Duleek in Co Meath. Liam and Noel have often spoken with pride of their Irish roots, with the older Gallagher brother claiming in his 2021 autobiography that their Irish upbringing made Oasis what it was. "We are Irish, me and Liam, pretty much," Noel wrote. "There is no English blood in us... "Oasis could never have existed, been as big, been as important, been as flawed, been as loved and loathed, if we weren't all predominantly Irish." Oasis have played numerous memorable gigs in Ireland over the years, from their first ever Irish gig at Dublin's Tivoli Theatre in September 1994 to playing for 80,000 fans at Slane Castle in 2009 in what proved to be one of the band's final shows before they split in acrimonious circumstances. Ahead of their hugely anticipated double header at Croke Park this weekend, the Irish Mirror has taken a look back at some of the best image's from the band's previous concerts in Ireland over the years.

Half the country away: How Munster fans can get to Croke Park Oasis gig as Irish Rail puts on extra trains
Oasis will grace an Irish stage for the first time in 17 years this weekend, finally fulfilling the hopes of tens of thousands of fans that the most famous rift in rock would somehow be healed. Tickets for Oasis's Croke Park gigs this Saturday, August 16, and Sunday, August 17, sold out in minutes last August, and some 160,000 rock 'n' roll fans from across Ireland and further afield are expected to pack out the home of the GAA over the two nights. Doors open at 5pm, with the first support act — Verve front man Richard Ashcroft — due on stage at about 6pm. Once his set concludes, Liverpool rockers Cast will take to the stage. If Oasis's previous gigs on this tour are anything to go by, Liam and Noel Gallagher, Gem Archer, Andy Bell, Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, and drummer Joey Waronker should begin their approximately two-hour set about 8.15pm. Dublin is sure to be extremely busy in the run-up to and aftermath of both gigs, so fans, particularly those travelling into the capital by train from other parts of the country, have been advised to plan their journeys in advance. Iarnród Éireann will be running additional services both nights. These are: 07.45am Cork to Dublin Heuston (Sunday only); 8am Cork to Mallow will operate to Dublin Heuston (Saturday only); 10.15am Waterford to Dublin Heuston (Saturday only); 10.45am Waterford to Dublin Heuston (Sunday only); 23.59pm Dublin Connolly to Belfast (both nights); 12.30am Heuston to Galway* (Saturday night only); 12.40am Heuston to Cork* with connection to Limerick Colbert (both nights). The final two trains on this list will appear on Iarnród Éireann's Journey Planner for the following day, ie the 12.40am services will appear on the schedule for Sunday, August 17, and Monday, August 18, respectively. A spokesperson for the company said intercity trains were likely to sell out "very quickly", and tickets would not be available at stations on the day. Indeed, at time of writing, the 8am, 9.25am, 10.25am, 11.25am, and 12.25pm trains from Cork (Kent) to Dublin (Heuston) this Saturday are sold out, though there are still some spots available on the 1.25pm, 2.25pm and 3.25pm services. The 12.40am service from Dublin back to Cork in the early hours on Sunday morning is also almost at capacity. It's a similar picture for Sunday, with the 8.25am, 10.25am, 12.25pm, 12.50pm, and 2.50pm services from Kent to Heuston fully booked at time of writing. There is some availability on the 2.25pm and 3.25pm services, however. A small number of tickets are also still available on the 12.40am service from Heuston to Kent on Monday, August 18 also.
