A rare collection of colour photographs showing Edinburgh's Portobello seaside in the 1950s and 1960s are the subject of a charming new book.
The publication, 'John Brodie's Portobello ...plus a little more', features digital reproductions of 35mm glass slides taken by the late Edinburgh Corporation worker John Brodie, a Portobello local, who had a particular interest in capturing every day scenes around the area he lived.
The photos, many of which have never been seen before, were first made public as part of an exhibition at Portobello Library in 2019 and show various scenes, including people having fun at Portobello's famous beach, promenade and the district's legendary open-air pool, which closed in the 1970s.
