Talk Porty ~ Portobello

I'm moving house in some weeks - just up the road to Northfield. Still be coming back to Portobello for my shopping.

Easy parking is not often available in Bath Street. Would anyone know if I can reserve some space for a few hours to load a van? And if so who would I contact?

Thanks in advance

Anyone know how I get in touch with George Haggarty? I read his article in The Reporter on "Archaeological Investigations at Local Site". I have some bags of pottery shards collected from the Figgate Burn.

Thanks in advance.

Took 2/3 minutes for two police to come round. It was a couple of years back. I now live in Bath Street and heard the...

I like the sound of people enjoying themselves on the beach. I don't like the mechanical buzz of jetskis. I particularly dislike the way I've seen them plough through birds. Such as duck familys where the older ones are able to get out of the way. And I think I see less of the young.

Do you know what sort of building(s) they are proposing?
