Joppa


City of Edinburgh

An eastern suburb of Portobello in the city of Edinburgh, Joppa lies on the Firth of Forth adjacent to a sandy beach. Laid out on the estates of the Marquess of Abercorn to a plan by Robert Brown dated 1801, it became a fashionable resort and residential area in the late 19th century. Joppa had a railway station on Milton Road between 1859 and 1964 on what is now a branch of the East Coast Main Line.
