6. Zenatec
Long since demolished, Zenatec on Semple Street operated as a number of years as Annabel's and changed names many times. Pictured are the twelve finalists in the 1988 Miss Edinburgh beauty contest. Photo: Bill Stout
7. Fire Island
Accessed via a door to the side of Watches of Switzerland on Princes Street, the exotically-named Fire Island is recognised as Edinburgh's first regular gay-friendly night club. Waterstone's book store now occupies the former club space. Photo: Bill Stout
