The signage of one of Edinburgh’s oldest and most legendary pubs has been uncovered during a recent refit.
A popular fixture in Portobello for the best part of a century, the Bluebell Inn at 227 Portobello High Street is said to have been the first licensed premises in the seaside district when it opened in the late 19th century.
It was the local boozer for generations of Portobello residents, and the place where many ordered their first and, inevitably, final pints.
