	Scotsman.com News - Scotland - Why Portobello High needed knocked down a decade ago (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		So it saddens me that nearly ten years on, a new Portobello High still hasn't been built and we are in the middle of a huge wrangle about where it should be relocated.
		Portobello was a great school - and I'm sure it still is - but its staff and pupils are let down by the terrible state of the building.
		It would be a shame if two new schools were built as replacements, as the great strength of Portobello is that because of its wide catchment area, it is one of the few schools in Edinburgh's that can truthfully call itself a comprehensive.
