One of Scotland's most iconic bands has announced plans to "raise the spirits" of people stuck inside during the coronavirus lockdown.
Runrig will live stream a film of their farewell concert on Saturday - free of charge.
The movie is called The Last Dance and shows the entirely of Runrig's final gig at Stirling Castle in 2018, which was attended by 50,000 fans.
Runrig formed in 1973 on the Isle of Skye and enjoyed a 45-year career.
Rory Macdonald, founding member and bass guitarist, Runrig, said: “During these uncertain times, it may be hard to feel connected with the communities we love most.
"We hope that by live-streaming our farewell performance, captured in the film The Last Dance, we'll help reunite our fans and the Runrig community, and help raise the spirits."
The concert was a bittersweet and triumphant end to a remarkable career.
Singer Bruce Guthro added: “I just tried to soak up every moment I could, live it and enjoy it, and focus on the show because it had to go on.”
The Last Dance will be screened on Saturday 4th April from 7pm to 10pm on Facebook.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
