Cinemas in Edinburgh
If you want an old school cinema experience in Edinburgh, visit the The Dominion. Built in 1938, it’s one of Edinburgh’s oldest (and most luxurious) cinemas, featuring sofas and armchairs rather than the standard cinema seat! The Cameo is also a contender for Edinburgh’s oldest cinema - it opened in 1914 and was first called The King’s Cinema. This is the place to go if you enjoy cult classics or foreign film. The first silent films shown in the cinema were accompanied by a live orchestra - long before the building was fitted for sound! Learn more about Scottish cinema here. Groupon gives you discounts of up to 70% off the cinema and many other things to do in Edinburgh.
