Lothian Road is a key thoroughfare in the centre of Edinburgh and it has seen a rich variety of activities over the years – from protest marches to celebrations and performances –as well as all that has gone on in key buildings along the street, including the Filmhouse and the Usher Hall.
And the area round about has also seen significant developments, as some of the photographs here show.
Scroll through this photo gallery and see what has changed and what you can remember.
