Edinburgh clubbers recall legendary city night spot The Venue

The Venue, which closed its doors for good in 2006, is remembered by many not just here in the capital - but across Scotland.

The Calton Road spot first opened in the early 80s as the Jailhouse, before becoming The Venue. During its earlier years, the spot was mainly known for live music - and saw some huge names during its time.

The Stone Roses, My Bloody Valentine, Deacon Blue, Sonic Youth and LCD Soundsystem are just a few of the notables who graced the stage over the years. Folks will remember The Venue for many different things, but one that stands out to most is their techno nights.
