Today, we’re looking at Edinburgh as it was in 1987 – to see just how much Scotland’s capital has changed in 37 years.
On a national level, many will remember it as the year BBC weatherman Michael Fish said there was nothing to worry about before a violent extratropical cyclone went on to wreak £2 billion worth of damage.
Back in Auld Reekie, the Phoenix Bar on Broughton Street (now closed) was celebrating after being named as ‘Pub of the Year’ by readers of the Edinburgh Evening News.
