This retro photo gallery celebrates some of Scotland’s best ever clubs, which are sorely missed by the generations of revellers who enjoyed many legendary nights out there over the years.
These atmospheric images take you from the 1960s right up to the noughties, allowing you to relive your best clubbing days, should they be behind you.
The clubs featured include a famous beachfront venue which was Scotland’s biggest nightclub; a favourite haunt of Fran Healy, before he hit the big time with Travis; and a popular roller disco.
Many big acts have played at these venues over the years, from the Sugababes and Ian Van Dahl to the Ramones and the Clash.
How many of these Scottish nightclubs have you visited, and what do you think is the best nightclub Scotland has ever had, past or present?

Amadeus opened on the beachfront in Aberdeen in 1997 and with a capacity of 2,100 it was reputedly Scotland's biggest nightclub at the time. The superclub lasted for five years and later became a branch of homeware store The Range. The venue boasted five bars and the dance floor was dotted with podiums and had a stage that moved up and down. | Laura Hughes Photo: Laura Hughes
