A Stroll in Portobello


A stroll along the promenade in Portobello, Edinburgh, has to count as one of life's simple pleasures. The steady hum of the city at your back, the wide breadth of the sky and the Firth of Forth before you.






Turning left at my usual starting point, The Esplanade Bar (The Espy) at the end of Bath Street, I was surprised, after walking a short distance, by the seeming incongruity of seeing a couple of industrial bottle kilns peeping out from behind the usual seafront architecture. These bottle kilns stand in a open yard behind a line of seafront flats.
