Anyone remember this publication from the D C Thomson stable? It started out back in 1858 and enjoyed great success for some considerable time. In latter years it headed steadily downmarket before folding in 1990.
I was recently shown an issue of the Edinburgh and Southern Counties edition from August 1963, which featured Portobello. The set of 15 photographs and accompanying text feature in the latest addition to the Gallery section at Portobello Online.
You can view the gallery at:

You may well recognise some of the people in the photos, perhaps even yourself.
With many thanks to Izzie, who is the girl furthest to the left of the stage in this photo.
