Portobello Swim Centre

Portobello Swim Centre, located in Edinburgh, Scotland, is a historic leisure venue established in 1898, featuring swimming pools, a gym, and the only publicly accessible Victorian Turkish bath in Edinburgh. This architectural gem, designed by Robert Morham, is one of just three remaining Victorian Turkish baths in Scotland and holds Category A listed building status. Over the years, it has undergone several refurbishments, including significant upgrades in 1934, 1967, and a major £4.25 million renovation in 1998. Most recently, a £2.5 million investment was announced in 2019 to enhance its facilities, making it a unique destination for both tourists and researchers interested in Victorian architecture and leisure history.
