Charge up your flux capacitors, as we venture back to Cameron Toll as it looked nigh on 40 years ago.
Captured in 1985, within months of the Edinburgh shopping centre first opening, we've stumbled upon a set of photos that take us right back to a time of big hair, shoulder pads, John Hughes movies and Ford Fiestas.
The retro snaps, which were scanned in from a contemporary design magazine, show a very different Cameron Toll that's a far cry from the shopping centre we know in 2022.

Predating the likes of the Gyle and Fort Kinnaird, the £32 million complex was also Edinburgh's first out-of-town shopping centre and had clearly been inspired by the modern malls that were already commonplace in the USA.
As we can see in the photos, what is now Sainsbury's was then called Savacentre, a name that many locals used to refer to the whole shopping centre - some even still do to this very day.
