Portobello Beach Walk

Our drive along the western end of the Firth of Forth coastline ended up in Portobello, which is located in Edinburgh.  Despite the cold wind the autumn sunshine had brought out hundreds of people to walk along the beach and promenade.  I decide this was a good opportunity to get the X100 out to record the scene.

Introduction to Portobello
Portobello is a beach resort located three miles (5 km) to the east of the city centre of Edinburgh, along the coast of the Firth of Forth, in Scotland. It is now a suburb of Edinburgh, with a promenade fronting on to the wide sand beach.  It's heyday was in the 19th century but  the beginning of the 21st century has seen a rapid revival of Portobello's fortunes. Perhaps helped by tourism and council initiatives, but also by a wealth of bottom-up community action, Portobello beach can be as crowded on a summer's day now as it was in the photos from the 19th century.
