Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink
This drinking fountain was built about 1870, and closed in the 1950s due to vandalism.

Looking along the Promenade
The Scottish Water pumping station at Joppa, at the far end of the Promenade, was the last one to be built in the Edinburgh area, and it’s an impressive building with circular stone steps down to the sea.

Coastal Edinburgh: the Promenade
The street that faces the sea at Portobello that is called the Promenade on the city maps (Google Maps link) is reached from the end of Kings Road, turn left.

(Google maps link) It’s a great walk.
There are places for children to play:
