Hotels in Portobello
Portobello is a beach resort located three miles to the east of the city centre of Edinburgh, along the coast of the Firth of Forth, in Scotland. It is now a suburb of Edinburgh, with a promenade fronting on to the wide sand beach. For many years it was a popular resort with Glaswegians, particularly when the Glasgow Fair trade holiday signalled the start of the rainy season in the west.
The area was originally known as Figgate and was used as pasture by the monks of Holyrood Abbey. The Scots Magazine in 1806 said the lands were "a perfect waste covered almost entirely with whins or furze."
By the 18th century it had become a haunt of seamen and smugglers, and around the middle of that century gained the name Portobello from a cottage built by a seaman who had served in the 1739 campaign at Puerto Bello in Panama.
