Gallery: Tide Lines' sold-out Sunday concert at Tall Ships festival in Aberdeen
They were joined by Banchory-born singer-songwriter Calum Bowie, who warmed up the local crowd with an energetic set. The concert was a sell-out, with tickets released for a minimum £5 donation and all proceeds supporting Aberdeen's RNLI lifeboat station.
Despite the damp weather, thousands gathered along the harbour, surrounded by the towering masts of the Tall Ships. The weather didn't dampen spirits as festivalgoers enjoyed an unforgettable night of live music by the waterfront.
With the ships in port until Tuesday, there's still time to explore the vessels and enjoy the final days of Scotland's biggest event of the year.
Press and Journal photographer was there to capture the best moments.

The Fortune Hotel Season 2: release schedule, eliminations and where to watch
ITV competition show The Fortune Hotel is in full season 2 swing, with 11 pairs of contestants battling it out to find a briefcase stuffed with a £250,000 prize. Hot off the heels of BBC show The Traitors, in eight episodes players must work out which pair has the winning briefcase, and the goal is to end up with it at the end of the show. Daily challenges decide what order players can either keep or swap their briefcases, with the quarter of a mill secretly changing hands throughout the series. Eight briefcases are empty, while the ninth has an 'early checkout card' – which eliminates players landed with it at the end of each episode. Presenter Stephen Mangan told Metro how the show can be pretty savage, as winning requires contestants to lie and cheat. 'It's really difficult to brutally pull the plug on another pair and send them home, but you have to do it,' he explained. The series began with 11 pairs of contestants who know each other in some capacity, much like Race Across The World's format. Hoping for a chance to win were best friends Maz and Max; fellow besties Chelsey and Briony; father and son Atholl and John; brothers Jake and Mike; couple Allan and Jacob; couple Nella and Tope, partners Fred and Min; mum and daughter Martina and Briony; friends Gurk and Guv; and dad and daughter James and Yasmine. Players come from all walks of life, with jobs ranging from tech to cleaning, and retirees are also having a stab. Last week's episode ended on a cliffhanger – spoiler ahead – as with the introduction of a second early check-out card, both Fred and Min and Allan and Jacob seemed to be at risk. However host Stephen revealed only one of the pairs would be going home – as voted for by their other contestants, ouch . Tonight revealed Maz and Max sent home Allan and Jacob through tears, leaving them 'gutted'. So far other eliminated contestants include cleaning business owners Briony and Chelsey; retired police officer Atholl and son John from the Scottish borders; Wigan-born brothers Mike and Jake; and salesman Guv and poker player Gurks. Episodes are airing weekly on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Episode 1 – Wednesday August 6 at 9pm (out now) Episode 2 – Thursday August 7 at 9pm (out now) Episode 3 – Wednesday August 13 at 9pm (out now) Episode 4 – Thursday August 14 at 9pm (out now) Episode 5 – Wednesday August 20 at 9pm (out now) Episode 6 – Thursday August 21 at 9pm Episode 7 – Wednesday August 27 at 9pm Episode 8 – ThursdayAugust 28 at 9pm The Fortune Hotel airs on ITV1 and ITVX. Once the episodes have aired they are available on the streamer. Got a story?

Sung Book Dong
Douglaston, Queens, is on New York City's outskirts, near the Long Island border–a trek if you're coming from the city and don't have a car. But if you don't mind a trip, would happily swap hype and vibes for big portions and high-quality; if you truly love KBBQ, Sung Book Dong is, pound-for-pound some of the best value you're gonna find across the five boroughs. SBD is a clean, well-lighted place and what more do you need? Locals eat here–bring their Korean-born parents and grandparents here for a taste of home, their kids for a fun glimpse at their culinary heritage. That said, Long Island bros may make a cameo. Douglaston is still New York City, so anyone and everyone is liable to walk through the door and rub elbows. But you're here to eat. And you'd better come hungry because the portions here are generous and the food is absolutely delicious. Meat-wise, marinated galbi is cut thick, each bite tender but satisfyingly chewy and edged with perfect caramelization. And the pork belly comes in slabs thick enough to sizzle in their own rendered fat. The banchan is one of the best in the city, period–a long procession of tasty bites whose star is, undoubtedly, the soy marinated crab. Though we know its intent, labeling any place beyond the city lights a 'hidden gem' or 'off the beaten path' can be patronizing; hidden from whom? On whose path? If you're heading to Sung Book Dong, you're either a local who knows exactly how good you've got it or KBBQ lover who knows exactly where the path to satisfaction leads. If you take convenience out of the equation, on the matrix of price X quality X quantity of food, it's hard to beat Sung Book Dong. Vibe: Built‑in grills and dangling hoods, mostly bare walls, a plant here and there. The view out the window is low-slung Northern Boulevard. The space between tables can be measured in microns. Weekends, this place fills to the brim and when it does, the buzz rises considerably. Time Out Tip: There is an unwritten minimum order. If it's busy and you're not ordering enough per ass-in-seat, you're unintentionally throwing things out of whack, which is tough on the hardworking staff. That's not to say the servers aren't nice or welcoming–they'll take care of you with all the hospitality you could want. Just keep in mind that this place is best reserved for a group or a couple very hungry individuals.

Irvine Welsh says psychedelic drug proves there is 'life before and after death'
The Trainspotting author can be seen taking DMT in a new documentary about his life and career Irvine Welsh has revealed how a psychedelic drug turned him from being an atheist into believing in the afterlife. The Trainspotting author can be seen taking DMT in Canada in a new documentary about his life and career. In the film - Reality Is Not Enough - he is seen going into an altered state in a controlled environment to help him experience what life felt like "before he was born". Welsh, 66, had taken a different version of the drug previously, during which he says he experienced the existence of the afterlife. The Edinburgh-born writer told The Record: 'I saw after I died when I first took DMT, which it's all inner emotional vocabulary. 'The first time I did it was on my mate's couch back in London. I realised I'd been a complete atheist and that my atheism doesn't stand up. 'Not that I believe in a one person, an omnipotent God, but it did change my previous belief that once you died there was nothing more. 'I realised that this life is like a working holiday. This is not really who we are. It's just a small slither in our existence.' DMT, or Dimethyltryptamine, is a psychoactive drug that naturally occurs in plants and animals. It is known for its hallucinogenic effects and is used in some cultures to induce altered states of consciousness. Welsh is seen lying down wearing an eye mask in much anticipated documentary, which has its premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival. Through this unique lens, viewers also join Welsh on a brutally honest examination of his life and how his creativity was fostered by his childhood in Edinburgh. The film sees him meet childhood pals and also covers the influences he gained living amongst 1970's London's punk counterculture. He also talks about how his groundbreaking works such as Trainspotting and Filth pulled him out of a self-destructive cycle. Recalling the publication of Trainspotting in 1993 and the success of the film three years later, Irvine said: 'When Trainspotting first came out, I was public enemy number one. People were basically saying, this is going to make people take drugs. 'Within six months, every single drug prevention ad that was like an outtake from Trainspotting. 'It changed the way the authorities looked at it almost overnight.' He added: 'I don't think anybody in the world has a handle on a drug use anywhere. I don't think it's possible to have a handle on drug use anywhere. 'The whole world we live in is set up for addiction and street drugs. 'It's like we're a Big Pharma telling doctors what to stock and tell them what to prescribe for different forms. Doctors can't spend the time to do anything other than just dispense the drugs that Big Pharma give them. 'Working class people can't eat or afford to have access to proper food, so they're eating these chemicals that are pumped into them by the food industry. 'You see people that are morbidly obese and yet suffer from malnutrition at the same time because they're just pumping empty carbs in to sustain themselves. That's what all these foods are, sugars, fats, salts and empty carbs. 'So that's an addiction. The biggest addiction is the phones, people walking around with them stuck to their face. 'You've got online gambling, online pornography, online delivery services. People can't walk two yards down the street.' Welsh was born in Edinburgh in 1958 and grew up on the Muirhouse housing estate in the West of Edinburgh. After moving to London in the late '70s, he spent ten years dabbling in punk rock before returning to Scotland at the end of the '80s, where he worked for Edinburgh Council, completed an MBA at Heriot-Watt University and started to write. Reality Is Not Enough is being premiered at the EIFF on Wednesday, August 20 before general release on September 26.
