Before its transformation into the Fountain Bar, the Dundee Arms, located on Dundee Street, had a pretty rough reputation - rough enough to be nicknamed 'the Vietnam'. Photo: National World

Salsa dancing and fiery rhythms at Siglo, Cowgate, 28 March 2000. Siglo was also a disco-pub that opened until the wee small hours of the morning. Today, it is a trendy pub/restaurant called OX184. Photo: Third Party
