JWL Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 1 hour ago, Mister T said: Agreed. This is the best thread on here. Great photos, genuine interest and no bickering and trolling wallopers to spoil things. Couldn't agree more. It is however the most frustrating when you're racking your brains trying to figure out the location of some of the images but that's all part of the fun.

Sharpie Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 1 hour ago, Radio Ga Ga said: The good old Palais De Dance,, the horse and cart where my pre jigging at the Palais started in the Fair Exchange Pub. A kilty on parade all by himself, it was a wee bit before my time, but I soon found it. How time flies when you had so much fun, life was good. When I leave this old life and stand in front of the eternal judge and he asks what do you have to say for yourself my response will be simply I had a great life, wonderful people, and a heaven to live in as a young man, it may not look much to todays youth, but boy man just that wee bit of a place made a fair contribution.

Radio Ga Ga Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 May yer lum reek. I think this one has definitely been posted before, however, i think it highlights perfectly how Edinburgh became known as Auld Reekie, imagine this duplicated all over our city and it must have been Smog Central Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Lyon Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 2 hours ago, Radio Ga Ga said: No date I’m afraid LB. I worked in Dewar Place in 1980 and used to walk to Shandwick Place for my bus and can’t remember it being The Quaich therefore I assume it must be well before then… When I went to work in Canning St in 1968 it was called The Quaich. Circa 1980 it was taken over by a retired army (I think) man and the name changed to Nimmo's. Iw as the Dan Mackay's and the Au Bar. Now the Fox and Faun.

Carl Fredrickson Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 2 hours ago, Radio Ga Ga said: I’m quite happy posting the photos I come across on the internet, my biggest issue is that I’ve started to forget what and what hasn’t already been uploaded, therefore, sincere apologies in advance for the inevitable duplicated posts! No need to apologise for any that have been posted before as I have started to forget some that had already been posted too! Being from outside Edinburgh I particularly enjoyed the pics of the old bus station (the view to Arthurs Seat before St James Centre was built is great) as I spent hours there waited for various buses before I passed my driving test.
