A call for lifeguards to be brought in to protect visitors to Scotland's 'busiest' coastline has been made by it's council leader.
East Lothian has seen tourist numbers swell since the pandemic, with an estimated three million people heading to its 40-mile stretch of coast each year.
Now the council's leader says more needs to be done to protect people in its busy beaches - but said additional support could not be funded by the cash-strapped local authority.
