Guide included bars, cafes and clubs which no longer exist in Edinburgh but were stalwarts of the gay scene in the 1980s and 1990s including The New Town Bar, The Claremont Bar, The Blue Moon Café. Each venue listing includes a ‘Totty Factor’ rating of between one and five stars!
Interestingly, the Nexus Café was formerly the premises of the Lesbian & Gay Centre, 60 Broughton Street, Edinburgh demonstrating that venues evolved but maintained links to the past.
Collected for the Remember When LBGT project.
The
Remember When project
was an oral and community history project which documented the lives and achievements of Edinburgh’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, past and present and was a joint initiative between the City of Edinburgh and the Living Memory Association.
The project recorded the stories of a wide range of Edinburgh’s LGBT communities and showed how they have continually made a distinctive and valuable contribution to life in Edinburgh.
