. Commonwealth Pool
The top place for a Sunday swim, the slides at the Commie Pool were removed in 2000 but those of us who got a shot on them undoubtably remember the urban myth that there were razor blades embedded in the flumes! Photo: TSPL
. HMV, Princes Street
The iconic music shop was arguably the best place to spend your Christmas money, but CD and record stores took a hit when streaming took over meaning HMV is no longer one of the main attractions of Princes Street Photo: TSPL
. Gaia, King Stables Road
Legendary club Gaia was a staple for students and became Silk in the later 2000s. It has now been demolished but still retains the student stamp as it is now dedicated accommodation Photo: TSPL

In a time of dial up, and when you went on holiday with no wifi, the Easy Everything internet cafe on Rose Street had more than 400 computers. Photo: TSPL
13. Skateboarders at Bristo Square
The redevelopment of the square meant the removal of many of the raised concrete sections that skateboarders enjoyed. Photo: TSPL
