Warnings about a potential health risk from bacteria at a popular Edinburgh beach remain in place, as investigations into the cause of the contamination continue.
Beach-goers were warned against swimming or paddling at Portobello beach on Thursday after an abnormally high level of bacteria was found in water samples.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) and the city council urged people to follow the advice.
Signs have been placed around the beach while Sepa awaits the results of further samples.
