A letter from Scottish Water that is being sent out to local residents today to let them know that Scottish Water will be carrying out works on the golf course for eight weeks from 20 June to install a new sewer connection for the new Portobello High School.

This pipeline will run across the golf course from Stanley Street to the new school and Scottish Water have been meeting with Edinburgh Leisure and the three golf clubs who use Portobello Golf Club to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum when the works take place.  

The works will be done in phases to ensure that only one hole on the course will be closed at anytime to allow the course to remain open and no works will take place at weekends. 

Reinstatement works will take place as they go along.
