Portobello Beach Edinburgh

The iconic groynes at Portobello beach were installed in the 1970s. They've recently been renovated - a bit of a shame in some ways as they had been bent into fantastic shapes by the sea and weight of sand. The numbers, 1-6, were added to the posts marking the ends of the groynes in 2021 to identify sections of the beach for emergency services. In the distance across the bay North Berwick Law is visible above the coast near Gullane.
