It may not seem that long ago for some of us, but the noughties (the decade between the years 2000 and 2010) are long gone now.
Since then many landmarks of Scottish life have disappeared, but are not forgotten. Take a trip down memory lane with this these 15 pictures of places and events that are long gone.
Borders book store on Buchanan Street closed in 2009.
Gordon Ramsay's Michelin starred restaurant at One Devonshire Gardens in Glasgow closed its doors in 2004.
This iconic clothes store shut UK shops by 2001.
After several setbacks, Glasgow Zoo in Baillieston closed its gates for the last time in August 2003. The zoo had originally opened in 1947.
Headquartered in Glasgow, Global Video rental shop branches were all over Scotland during the early noughties, and then disappeared quickly in 2006.
In 2003, the MTV Europe Music Awards were held at Ocean Terminal in Edinburgh. A massive marquee was erected for the occasion, and presenters included Andre 3000, The Black Eyed Peas and Ludacris. Quintessential noughties.
