Although...

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, up to 18 popular Scottish beaches, ..., look set to fail tough new sewage safety limits â€“ prompting calls that these beaches need to be cleaned up now.

It has been predicted that seven official bathing waters in Ayrshire, five in Dumfries and Galloway and six around the rest of the country will breach bacterial pollution standards being introduced by the European Union in 2008 to protect public health.

...

Among the bathing waters that Sepa says may breach the new limits are beaches at ... Portobello West in Edinburgh ... are also likely to fail to reach the safety standards.
