"The Skylark sailed from Portobello Beach from the mid-1950s until the early-1960s.

"I recently found out  that the Skylark was owned and operated by Edward Brown and his brother from the Starlyburn Boatyard, across the Forth in Burntisland.

The Skylark was originally purchased and converted to a passenger ferry by the Browns.   Ed Brown died a few years ago after relocating across here to Oban to run another boatyard at Gallanach."
