Shoreline updates

May 28, 2019  |  By Charlotte Johnson

New Shoreline signs

New sign South Queensferry

We’re delighted to unveil 6 new signs along the Edinburgh coast which will tell passers-by how important the history, habitats and wildlife connected with the area are.

We’ve worked in collaboration the Forth Estuary Forum and the super talented Studioarc to replace some old, worn and vandalised signs which we originally installed in 2011 with some bright, shiny new signs! We’ve also had the opportunity to update some of the information on the boards to really get across the message of how special our coastline is. As you can see, the improvement is vast!

Look out for the signs at:

Port Edgar Marina

Newhalls Road, South Queensferry

Silverknowes Promenade

Granton Beach, just off West Shore Road

Newhaven Harbour

The Shore, Leith

We hope that locals and visitors alike will enjoy reading the signs and finding out more about the area, the significance of the history of our coast and the importance of maintaining the precious habitats found there.

    I cannot believe that you would not incorporate Portobello/Joppa. This has to be one of the busiest shore lines with over 2 miles of Promenade to walk. Please could you let me know the reasoning behind this??

      Hi Lynda, We were replacing old damaged signage installed by the Forth Estuary Forum in 2011. The Forth Estuary Forum did not have any signage at Portobello or Joppa for us to replace. I believe this may have been because there were already lots of interpretation panels by other organisations along the promenade – but you would need to contact them to confirm this. Best wishes.

Edinburgh Shoreline is an exciting, community centred initiative celebrating the city’s 27km coastline.

We are rediscovering its fascinating and often unknown history and the rich plant and animal life that survives against the odds in unexpected places, and inspiring people to explore their coast and take responsibility for its future health.

We are very grateful to have been supported and funded so well in the past.

As we enter 2021, we are now planning and fund raising for our next exciting projects.
