The Scottish Wetherspoons pub that once hosted music legends from Pink Floyd to Queen

If you have ever been to Edinburgh, you might have passed by or even been inside The Caley Picture House on Lothian Road.

The Wetherspoons pub opened in 2016 and has since become among the most popular branches of the chain in the city. However, the building itself has a long and storied history dating back one hundred years.

The original Caley Picture House opened its doors in 1923, designed by J.S. Richardson & J.R. McKay. The 900-capacity venue opened with a screening of the silent film The Game of Life.
