If you were on a night out in Edinburgh in the 2000s, there always seemed to be a point in the evening where you'd end up in Opium.
Situated at 71 Cowgate, the alternative night spot, which specialised in rock, punk and metal, became a mecca for those who liked their music sprinkled with ear-splitting vocals, thunderous bass lines and Satan-summoning guitar riffs.
Open from dusk till dawn, seven nights a week, you could always rely on Opium to ensure you'd be heading home suitably sozzled long after the witching hour.
