Edinburgh has seen lots of changes to the city centre since the turn of the century, with many popular shops, restaurants, nightclubs and pubs gone forever, as the city’s landscape has changed.
Many of these old familiar haunts are much missed by locals in the Capital, evoking happy memories of being out and about having fun with friends and family.

7. Espionage Nightclub, Victoria Street.
Espionage Nightclub on Victoria Street was a popular nightspot, where locals would often lose their friends due to the multi-floored nightclub being a bit of a labyrinth, with many nooks and crannies across all the floors. It closed its doors in 2019. Photo: Neil Hanna
8. Eros/ Elite
Welcoming its first revellers just a few weeks shy of Hogmanay 1999, the 3,000-capacity Eros/ Elite broke new ground as a superclub fit for the new millennium. Located in Fountainbridge, it regularly attracted big name acts from all over the continent, including Ian Van Dahl and Dee Dee. The club closed it's doors in 2004, with the site currently occupied by the kids' trampoline park Gravity. Photo: Jim Etherson
