Edinburgh swimmer's warning as stinging monster jellyfish wash up on Portobello beach

An Edinburgh swimmer has warned others as monster jellyfish start to wash up along Portobello beach due to warmer weather.

Dougie Kemp, 67, who swims in the sea everyday, explained how he has noticed more and more lion's mane jellyfish this summer season.

Lion's mane jellyfish are the largest species of the sea creatures and get their name from the ferocious appearance similar to a lion's mane. Unlike most jellyfish you may come across in Scottish waters these huge animals can give a very nasty sting.
