A crowd of country music fans brought their best boots and cowboy hats to Aura nightclub in Dundee on Saturday for a lively country-themed day party.

The dance floor was buzzing as revellers enjoyed a mix of classic and modern hits from stars like Morgan Wallen, Dolly Parton, Luke Combs, and Shania Twain. The playlist served up a perfect blend of nostalgic anthems and current chart-toppers, keeping the energy high all afternoon.

Guests embraced the theme in true country style, showing off their moves and soaking up the feel-good atmosphere alongside fellow music lovers.

Courier photographer Kim Cessford was on hand to capture all the fun.
