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.

105 Porty Street Fest
•
David Calder, Kyrsta Macdonald Scott, Wild Flower Shop, Two Sisters, Al Mare, 239 High Street, Baptist Church, Glenn Innes
The Porty Street Fest is now an annual tradition. But this year, it takes on a special significance with the closure of Brighton Place. There may be signs insisting that Porty is ‘open for business’ but the High Street is quieter than usual at this time of year. Traders are hoping that the event this coming Thursday will attract people to shop locally – and to bring in extra customers as well.
