When Eros and Elite opened up in 1999, the interconnected venue, which was one of the largest in Europe, set a new standard for the capital's clubbing scene.
With the capacity to host more than 2,200 revellers, the Fountainpark superclub was a far cry from the city's other popular night venues of the era.
Its numerous (non-sticky) dancefloors, sprawling bar areas and state-of-the-art sound and lighting set it apart from competitors and made Edinburgh a clubbing mecca overnight.

At the dawn of a new millennium, people came from far and wide to experience the delights of Eros and Elite for themselves with the club attracting the cream of the nation's DJs at a time when dance music was taking over the UK charts.
In those early days, the nightclub reverberated to the sounds of top acts and producers of the day, such as Faithless, ATB and Paul Oakenfold.
But the good times would sadly not last forever, as the club became embroiled in successive violent incidents and reports of illegal drugs being sold and consumed on the premises.

In one incident, a bloody mass brawl between rival football supporters brought all the wrong kinds of headlines and gave the club a reputation it would struggle to shake off.
Despite one of the twin clubs being named after the Greek god of love, Eros/Elite eventually met its demise in 2003, with the doors closing for the last time.
The Fountainpark venue may have lasted a little over four years, but it left an indelible mark on Edinburgh's nightlife that's still spoken about to this very day.
