FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Edinburgh nursery play hut next to popular beach destroyed for firewood | History Defined

A nursery hut used to store play equipment next to a bustling Edinburgh attraction has reportedly been the subject of vandalism in order for people to obtain firewood.

The Portobello Toddler's Hut, next to the popular beach, has been damaged during the amber weather warning issued for Edinburgh and the Lothians, with a local restaurant posting a video on Twitter and saying that people used the wood from the hut as firewood to burn on Portobello Beach.

The shocking vandalism was reported by Civerinos, who's popular pizza restaurant is located right next to the nursery. On Wednesday, July 20, they took to Twitter, saying: "Local Porty nursery outside area that was destroyed for firewood last night. Everyone in today to put back together and save what can be salvaged."
