Auld Reekie has always had a buzzing nightlife scene, and here we remember some famous old venues that we’ve lost.

14. The Yellow Carvel
Known for a time as one of Edinburgh’s best folk music venues, The Yellow Carvel owed its rather curious name to a 300-ton armed merchant ship (or caravel) harboured at the port of Leith in the 15th century. Located on Hunter Square, in the 1960s and 70s the pub became a haven for the city’s patchouli-scented folk crowd, as well as blues and jazz buffs. Photo: National World
15. The Auld Toll
The Auld Toll, on Leven Street, at Tollcross, had a traditional interior filled with old pictures, mirrors and some classic, if rather worn, pub furniture. Today it's The Blackbird - a rather more modern affair. Photo: Third Party
16. Subway
