18. Revolution
Stag-party revellers dance at the Revolution on Lothian Road, June 29, 2001. Is that Ali G dancing with Agnetha and Frida from ABBA? Revolution is no longer a nightclub and has since been transformed into Wetherspoon gastro pub Caley Picture House. Photo: Third Party
19. Buster Browns
Back in the 80s, this club was the coolest place to hang out, especially as big acts like Blondie and Duran Duran were rumoured to hold their after-show parties here. Photo: Third Party
20. Ivanhoe
Named after the historical novel Ivanhoe, by Edinburgh literary great Sir Walter Scott, whose impressive monument towers nearby, this was once a popular city centre boozer. The pub has since been closed and the building demolished. Photo: National World
