Edinburgh’s nightlife has changed a lot over the years and it got our readers sharing fond memories of their clubbing days.
We asked which nightclub they would bring back if they could and, with around 3,000 comments, it was definitely a talking point. Here are just 12 of the venues where residents would love to have one last dance.
5. Cavendish
Many readers gave a mention to The Cavendish nightclub at West Tollcross, which over the years has opened as many different clubs under different names, including Clouds which also received shout outs. In more recent years it was running as ATIK nightclub, which closed earlier this year after owners failed to secure a new lease. This photo shows a clubbing night at Cav in 1998.

6. The Venue
The Venue was one of the most missed nightclubs in the Capital according to our readers, with hundreds having named it among the best. Many famous acts played at the Calton Road venue over the years, including the Stone Roses and Deacon Blue. The Venue closed in 2006 and reader George Cessford described it as "the best techno club of its generation". Photo: Bill Henry
