An artwork by a Scottish photographer of naked revellers drinking in a bar has been unveiled.

It shows volunteers aged 20 to 66 years old of all shapes and sizes in a vibrant bar scene.

More than 550 people volunteered to strip off and bare all for the photo shoot, held in Glasgow's west end.

Photographer Alistair Devine said: "We had people from all walks of life go down in Scottish history to create a unique and fun piece of art."

Mr Devine has previously photographed a host of stars including Sting and Sophia Loren.

He said: "The project was a fantastic accomplishment for all involved and I am absolutely delighted with the final shot."

The project followed a similar concept to Spencer Tunick's photographs of mass groups of naked people which have been taken in landmark locations across the world.

Oli Norman, managing director of DADA which commissioned the piece in conjunction with Mr Devine, said: "We were overwhelmed by the massive response - the final result is truly incredible."

The photograph was taken in new west end venue bobar.

Manager Craig McAdam said: " It was fantastic to be involved in something so bold and groundbreaking for Scotland and to be the location for the first ever piece of Scottish naked art."
