LGBT+ nightclub GHQ was hosting male only club night Dilf when a small fire set off the alarm, forcing staff to clear the crowds from the building while the fire service was called.

Following the event, Twitter user @edinkink92, who was wearing a footie kit, said that some of the men in jockstraps were outside for “about an hour”, he tweeted: “Fire alarm at dilf and all of the kinky folk in Edinburgh are standing in the street in jocks, harnesses, rubber and footie kit”
