18. Caledonian Ale House
The cosy Caledonian Ale House, known as the Haymarket Station Bar until 1995, offered a unique atmosphere and was often very busy. It was knocked down in 2008 during the tram works. Photo: National World

19. The Yellow Carvel
Known for a time as one of Edinburgh’s best folk music venues, The Yellow Carvel owed its rather curious name to a 300-ton armed merchant ship (or caravel) harboured at the port of Leith in the 15th century. Located on Hunter Square, in the 1960s and 70s the pub became a haven for the city’s patchouli-scented folk crowd, as well as blues and jazz buffs. Photo: National World

20. Ivanhoe
Named after the historical novel Ivanhoe, by Edinburgh literary great Sir Walter Scott, whose impressive monument towers nearby, this was once a popular city centre boozer. The pub has since been closed and the building demolished. Photo: National World
