Portobello Beach

Portobello Beach
Portobello is a coastal suburb of Edinburgh in eastern central Scotland. It lies three miles (5 km) to the east of the city centre, facing the Firth of Forth, between the suburbs of Joppa and Craigentinny. Although historically it was a town in its own right, it is officially a residential suburb of Edinburgh. The promenade fronts onto a wide sandy beach. Quoted from Wikipedia

A great place to have a pokey hat, Amelia, as this is where the '99' was invented. All the best, Joe

Gorgeous golden sand and a superb perspective. Something else I have learnt, the 99 invented there! My favourite :-)) Cheers, Rosa.
PS. I also like a nice rum & raisin cornet!

According to Wikipedia, Rosa:

"Stefano Arcari who had opened a shop in 1922 at 99 Portobello High Street – would break a large "Flake" in half and stick it in an ice cream. The name derived from the shop's address."

Cheers,

Joe
