Porty Podcast
The Porty Podcast is a community project, highlighting events in and around Edinburgh's seaside - Portobello! It's a very active area with sailing, rowing and kayaking on the Forth, a vibrant artistic community and a strong sense of identity which makes it slightly separate from the other parts of Edinburgh.

153 Craigmillar Now
This week, we’re moving a little outside our Portobello boundaries because, this year, our near neighbours in Craigmillar celebrate the centenary of their incorporation into the growing city of Edinburgh. A new local charity, Craigmillar Now, has been set up to mark this. Right at the end of last year, it got access to the former Craigmillar Community Arts building, itself the former St Andrew’s Church, just opposite the western entrance to Fort Kinnaird – its website which shows what the restored inside of the building looks like. But what plans does Craigmillar Now have? Porty Podcast Producer, David Calder spoke to two trustees – Rachael Cloughton and Andrew Crummy.
