We've compiled a list of Edinburgh nightclubs from years gone by – places that will leave you feeling nostalgic for those carefree days of youth.
Take a look through these pictures and let the memories come flooding back.
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.
Pictured in April 2004, Faith nightclub in the Cowgate was located in a former church. Later became Sin. It's now the site of Stramash, a 900-capacity late night music venue and diner split over two floors with three bars.
Tuesday night was "Shagtag" night at Gaia on King's Stables Road, just off the Grassmarket. In this picture, revellers can be seen try their pulling power on the dancefloor on 17 May 2000.
The crowd bust out some moves on the dancefloor at Opal Lounge, George Street, 27 October 2006. Opal Lounge is now known as Eastside.
Honeycomb nightclub, Niddry Street, 27 September 2006. The venue is now known as Hive.
Saturday night revellers throwing shapes on the dancefloor at Eros Elite, Fountainbridge, 2 September 2000.
