14. Ripping Records
Lasting more than four decades, independent record store Ripping Records had a vast library of music and also sold gig tickets. People would be queuing the length of South Bridge for the biggest concerts and events, such as T in the Park and Oasis at Loch Lomond in 1996. Photo: esme allen
15. Whiplash Trash
For years it was an immensely popular hangout that bestowed upon Cockburn Street a decidedly goth-like edge. Whiplash Trash is remembered for its abundance of off-the-wall clothing, tattooing and piercing services and its selection of apparatus for the consumption of certain plant-based substances.

16. Grants
Back in the day, Grants furniture store in the High Street was the place to shop for your latest settee or side board. The store pictured was demolished in the 1970s and is now the site of a Radisson Blu hotel. Photo: Unknown
