Portobello Pier was a pleasure pier opened in Portobello, Edinburgh, Scotland. Designed by Thomas Bouch, it was {{convert|1250|feet|metre}} long,[1] and included a tea room and a concert hall. It opened on 23 May 1871, and in August of that year, on the holiday to mark the centenary of the birth of Sir Walter Scott, over 2500 people visited the pier, at a cost of one penny. The success of the pier saw day-trippers come by train from all over southern Scotland to Portobello. Pleasure boat excursions to the Isle of May and Fife were also offered. However, the fact that the pier was open on a Sunday caused controversy.[2] As well as being damaged by storms, the iron supports of the pier corroded, which led to its demolition in 1917.[3][4] In 2015, a proposal was made to build a new pier on the same site.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/portobello-promenade-pier-designs-revealed-1-3790958|title=Portobello Promenade pier designs revealed|date=3 June 2015|work=Evening News|accessdate=5 September 2015}} {{coord|55.9559|-3.1079|type:landmark_region:GB|display=title}}{{Piers in the United Kingdom}}{{Scotland-struct-stub}}2. ^{{cite book|last=Simpson|first=Eric |title=Wish You Were Still Here: The Scottish Seaside Holiday|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=aVCoAwAAQBAJ&pg=PP10&dq=portobello+pier&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCYQ6AEwAWoVChMI9a-15d3gxwIVwjsaCh31ywZe#v=onepage&q=portobello%20pier&f=false|date=30 September 2013|publisher=Amberley Publishing Limited|isbn=978-1-4456-1552-3}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/heritage/lost-edinburgh-portobello-pier-1-3358999|title=Lost Edinburgh: Portobello Pier|date=31 March 2014|work=The Scotsman|accessdate=5 September 2015}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.scotsman.com/news/pier-we-go-again-at-portobello-1-968841|title=Pier we go again at Portobello|date=9 December 2005|work=The Scotsman|accessdate=5 September 2015}} 3 : Piers in Scotland|1871 establishments in Scotland|Buildings and structures demolished in 1917 |
