We might not be famed for glorious sunshine here in Scotland, but the moment the clouds clear we flock to the beach! The beautiful sands of Portobello are picturesque even on cloudy days, and the numerous artisan coffee shops, bakeries and pubs on the high street are a great place to put your feet up after a stroll along the promenade!
