Today, we’re looking at Edinburgh as it was in 1970 – to see just how much Scotland’s capital has changed in 54 years.
Nineteen-Seventy was certainly an eventful year in Scotland's capital city, as these photos show. It was the year that saw the Capital host the Commonwealth Games for the first time, and there were dramatic scenes as an Eastern Scottish bus crashed into the railings at the top of the Waverley Bridge, near the Waverley Market.
Scroll a look through or photo gallery for a nostalgic trip back in time – and please let us know your own memories of Edinburgh in 1970 before you go.
