Nineteen Eighty-Eight was a memorable year for Edinburgh – particularly so for the old Port of Leith, which was put back on the map following the release of The Proclaimers’ sophomore album.
Packed with amazing tunes such as I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) and Letter From America, Sunshine on Leith was the album that made household names of twin brothers Craig and Charlie Reid.
But there was plenty more going on in Edinburgh that year, as you'll see from these incredible pictures.
Take a look through our gallery and be transported back to 1998. And please let us know your own memories in the comments section before you go.
