A quirky Edinburgh video that shows the historic transformation of the cinema at Fort Kinnaird has been shared on Tik-Tok.
The video, created by user andyt95v, shows the centre’s cinema evolving from 1990 through to 2015 when the site was last altered.
The video goes in reverse showing the site of the new Odeon after it opened in 2015 at Fort Kinnaird.

This was built on the old site of the former Odeon and 12 Cinema UCI site.
It then shows the old Odeon from 2005 that is flanked on either side by Chiquito and Frankie and Benny’s.
The 12 Cinema UCI site is then captured in a photograph from 1997 that shows the 12 screen business with an extremely dated red and white facade.
There is then a black and white image showing the 12 Cinema UCI business with a Pretty woman advert in front of the site.
Pretty Woman starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere has since become a rom-com classic and was the third highest grossing film in 1990.
According to the website Cinema Treasures, the 12-screen UCI Craig Park opened on July 13 in 1990.
It is understood to have had 12 screens - obviously - with seating capacities varying between the screens at: 168, 168, 168, 210, 210, 308, 308, 210, 210, 168, 168 and 168.
It was then bought by the Terra Firma Group who operated Odeon theatres Ltd. on October 28 2004.
From there it was rebranded as an Odeon Cinema and was closed on January 13 2008 for the site to be demolished. Cinema Treasures add that: “By coincidence it was the thirteenth purpose-built multiplex cinema to be closed in the United Kingdom.”
Elements of the old site were used to build a new 7-screen Odeon Cinema at Edinburgh’s Fort Kinnaird, which is understood to have opened in 2015.
The seating capacities for the new screens at the Odeon are understood to be: 182, 231,178, 112,193, 235 and 51.
On making the video, Andy said: "I remembered the fort from when I was younger and just decided to make the video out of boredom to be fair."
