Portobello United Dance Club

Hello,
this medal of Portobello United Dance Club was found some years ago near St Mary's Loch in the borders.
I would love to know when it is from.
If anybody has any idea about this let me know
Thank you

Re: The shops thread (was: Empty Shops on Porty High St)

Yes The Skylark opened yesterday!
We will have a launch party next Friday as this was done quite quietly in order for us to find our feet.

I'll post more detail about the party next week.

Come in to have a look, a piece of cake or a pint!

Thank you for all your nice message.
I can't wait to be pulling the first pint in The Skylark!
I move to Portobello myself last october. It is such a nice part of Edinburgh and just the perfect place for the next step of our business venture.

Yes! False ceiling is gone and plasterboard on the walls as well. We have nice v-line panelling and exposed bricks now.
We just receive some of the paint today, so exciting!

Re: The shops thread (was: Empty Shops on Porty High St)

Hi everyone. I saw that some of you were asking what was happening with Barelio/ Figgate Whins.
