Queen and Pink Floyd were among the bands to play there
If you have ever been to Edinburgh, you might have passed by or even been inside The Caley Picture House on Lothian Road.
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. It continued to enjoy success in the years that followed, becoming the first cinema in Edinburgh to show films in widescreen. However, by 1984, the its popularity had dwindled and it was closed.
Over the next few years, the Caley Palais hosted countless musicians and bands in its historic walls. Some music legends even played at the venue, including Queen, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, and New Order.
