13. Revolution
Stag-party revellers dance at the Revolution on Lothian Road, June 29, 2001. Is that Ali G dancing with Agnetha and Frida from ABBA? Revolution is no longer a nightclub and has since been transformed into Wetherspoon gastro pub Caley Picture House. Photo: Third Party
14. Subway

15. The Volunteer Arms
Located on Leith Walk, the Volunteer Arms - known locally as 'the Volly' - was made famous by Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting novel. Today, it has been transformed into the Mousetrap, a gaming and music bar with a mural of Trainspotting nutter Begbie. Photo: TSPL
16. Cinderellas
If you were into disco and pop music in the 80s, Cinderellas in Stockbridge was the place to go. Originally a cinema then a dancehall, the venue was transformed into Cinderellas in 1982 and, despite being a little less glamorous than its name might suggest, it remained popular until it burned down in 1991.
