Sands
"This
photograph is of our family group along with my cousins taken in or around
1945. It was at the bottom of King Street. There was always
good sand at this point.
The old
lady at the back of the picture is my gran the one responsible for all of
the Laird families loving Portobello.
We
all came on holiday to King Street, year after year. I can remember
at one time staying at the top of that street near to the co-op on the
corner. There, we lived there with a Mrs Morris.
We all have
great memories of Portobello and we still bring our grandkids up for the
day on many occasions during the summer."
Figure of Eight
Railway
"One of the
things we loved was the figure eight railway. Well, that's what we
called it - also to get into the open air baths with the
electric waves.
This was great for us as we did not have anything
like it around us. We lived at that time in New Mains, Lanarkshire.
Our
grandparents came from Waterloo, Lanarkshire."
