With its sandy beach and two-mile-long promenade, buzzing bars, cafés, restaurants, bistros and bakeries, Portobello is a great place to call home.
The area is ever-changing, with quirky independent stores opening all the time – and as a result, it has become one of the most desirable places to live in Auld Reekie.
It's all change cry from just a decades or two ago when the 'hood' was a tad shabby and sad-looking.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at 20 spots in Portobello that have helped make it one of the best places to live in all of Scotland – not just Edinburgh.
