Where: Scotland · Europe · approx. 55.95, -3.11 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 18th to early 20th century

What turns up: Sea glass and sea-worn pottery, including sherds from the many 19th-century Portobello potteries and brick and tile works that lined this shore; the beach itself sits on a district built on the ceramics industry.

Access: Restricted.

Busy public promenade beach in the city, safe and easy to access, where surface beachcombing is common. No digging is involved. As elsewhere in Scotland, finds of historical significance should be reported to the Treasure Trove Unit.
