We asked Edinburgh Evening News readers what areas in the capital remind them of their childhood and to share their memories of growing up there.
More than 300 residents responded, with some remembering beloved buildings from yesteryear, whilst for others, memories were made in places that can still be visited today.
For some, it was landmark businesses no longer in the Capital, including Goldbergs, Portobello’s open-air pool, and gangster themed restaurant Fat Sam’s. Others shared their memories of living in the city centre and visiting popular beaches.
Here are 14 Edinburgh locations that hold dear childhood memories for some of our readers.
