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.

107 Brighton Place 2
Brighton Place - Setts! It’s an argument that won’t go away, even though the decision was final and the work is well under way again – the street has been closed again after the Christmas break. Towards the end of last year, we carried an interview with the ‘Stop the Setts’ campaign. But that prompted comments that it had been one-sided and that we needed to redress the balance. There were, they insisted, a significant number of people who felt strongly about maintaining the historic nature of the area, first built in 1823, and they were delighted the work was going ahead. Their spokesman is Stephen Hawkins who explained why he felt so strongly about it.
