Edinburgh in the Nineties was an exciting place to be, with so much happening in the city, including a wave of exciting new developments and prospects.
Auld Reekie welcomed the opening of its first ever multiplex cinema, a host of new out-of-town shopping centres and several major redevelopments, including the multi-million pound transformation of Murrayfield Stadium into an all-seated arena fit for huge concerts and sporting events, including the Scottish national team’s rugby matches.
Take a look through our photo gallery and let yourself be transported back to Edinburgh in the 90s.
