'The world's most remote discotheque' is to open on a Scots island later this year.
The Isle of Coll, in the Inner Hebrides, will play host to two nights of DJs and performers in September for 'a unique weekend of parties'.
Pop-up nightclub Detour Discotheque is styled after legendary New York City nightclubs of the 1970s and will transform An Cridhe (Coll’s community centre) into a 'glamorous retro paradise'.
It comes following the sell-out success of Detour Discotheque's last event in 2022 in The Westfjords peninsula in northwestern Iceland.

The lineup includes Coll’s own Cosmic Ceilidh Band, Scottish DJ and producer Auntie Flo and Glasgow utopian synth outfit Free Love.
Organiser Jonny Ensall said: "Detour Discotheque is back for another spellbinding weekend. The event is a wormhole that opens in unexpected places around planet Earth, and this year that cosmic phenomenon is happening on Coll – a tiny Scottish island famous for its star-filled skies.
"It’s all about community – bringing disco-lovers and Coll residents together for two nights of unabashed joy, amid plenty of stunning nature and with the Milky Way to admire above us.”
Other activities across the weekend include wild swimming, nature walks and a local Saturday morning market (with a disco soundtrack).
