One of Scotland’s most famous music and nightclub venues has closed its doors for good after its last dance this weekend.

The Atik in Edinburgh closed after being unable to settle terms with its landlord, it is claimed.

The Tollcross club and venue, previously known as the Cavendish, hosted bands including The Ramones, The Clash and Pink Floyd, as well as dance nights.

"Atik in one form or another is one of Edinburgh’s oldest nightlife institutions and we’ve made some of the greatest memories with someone of the best people in the most amazing city in the world."
