Title
Portobello Baptist Church
Description
Portobello Baptist Church is celebrating its centenary of using the building which was the first Portobello Town Hall (opened 1868) and was built on the site of Puerto Bello House which was the first dwelling in the area. The building was designed by David Bryce (who also designed Fettes College and the original Edinburgh Infirmary). The building was also used as a dance hall, a cinema and hosted soirees before becoming a church. The church hall was originally from the Devil’s Porridge site in Gretna where munitions were assembled during WW1. After the war, the huts were disassembled and sold.
