There are plenty familiar names in this selection of old photos of Edinburgh theatres in the mid-1970s, drawn from the Evening News archive - Rikki Fulton, Una McLean, Walter Carr and Johnny Beattie as well as Windsor Davies, Ian Lavender, Jimmy Edwards, Eric Sykes, Andy Stewart - and even Rudolf Nureyev.
And it’s not all panto and Festival - there’s a picture of the newly-refurbished Playhouse in 1975 and an open-air version of A Midsummer Night's Dream in modern dress at Leith Links.
Scroll through the pictures and get a flavour of what was on offer in Edinburgh’s theatre world 50 years ago.
