They say it was the decade that fashion forgot but for some, the 1970s would have been peak era Edinburgh.
It was the decade disco clashed with punk, and the wallpaper in people's homes clashed with everything else. Britain's music and culture seemed to be an escape - or a reaction - to hard-times, which saw endless strikes and the 'winter of discontent' in 1979.
It was also the decade which witnessed the release of some of the biggest movies of all time, including Star Wars (1977), Grease (1978), and Jaws (1975). And then there were the fashions, with long hair for men and flared trousers becoming the standard - while massive collars, hot pants and platform shoes also had their moment in the sun.
