Built as part of Edinburgh's post-war regeneration, it soon became one of the city's most notorious housing estates and branded 'hell' by those who lived there.
For some, the West Granton estate was the perfect place to grow up, with locals speaking of a very tight-knit sense of community. Others, however, viewed it as an eyesore and an incredibly dangerous place to live.
Old photos of the estate show the prison-like resemblance it had, with hundreds of flats in close contact with each other in big blocks and a concrete courtyard in the centre.
