Edinburgh has always had a buzzing nightlife scene – regardless of what decade – and today we’re looking back at some old pubs and clubs that we’ve lost over the years.
Have a look through our gallery and let memories come flooding back. And before you leave, please share your own recollections of the Capital's lost pubs and clubs in the comments.

21. Buster Browns
Back in the 80s, this club was the coolest place to hang out, especially as big acts like Blondie and Duran Duran were rumoured to hold their after-show parties here. Photo: Third Party

22. The Green Tree

23. Bongo Club
The original Bongo Club was situated in a rather non-descript brick building next to New Street bus depot. Here it is pictured on 6 January 2000. It has since been demolished, but the Bongo Club lives on at 66 Cowgate. In between the years it was situated on Holyrood Road. Photo: Third Party

24. Caledonian Ale House
The cosy Caledonian Ale House, known as the Haymarket Station Bar until 1995, offered a unique atmosphere and was often very busy. It was knocked down in 2008 during the tram works. Photo: National World
