We spoke to Edinburgh residents living in the neighbourhood voted 'best in city'

It probably comes as no surprise to locals, but Portobello has been named as one of the top places to live in the UK.

Judges, from the Top 50 best places to live Sunday Times guide, praised the seaside suburb for having a "free-spirited atmosphere" that's a "refreshing contrast to the stuffier corners of the Scottish capital", adding: "With interesting shops – a bookshop, artisan baker and a branch of Bross Bagels – it's no wonder that it is now the location of choice for artists, authors, foodies and cool young families."

Portobello wasn't the only place in the Lothians named with East Linton in East Lothian also making an appearance in the exclusive list.
