A sun-worshipper in Edinburgh has gone viral for using an unusual form of beach furniture.
Pauline McGinley Gilgallon photographed a person on Portobello Beach enjoying the weather… sitting on a full-length leather sofa.
Posting on Twitter, she said: “Only in Scotland would you get somebody taking their L-shaped sofa doon the beach.”

Pauline told the Press Association: “There were other people on the beach sitting on two wooden armchairs further down, which I thought was hilarious, then I saw the sofa.”
The photo has attracted around 2,000 retweets, and plenty of people have commented on the strange sight.

Is nobody going to mention the fact that they didn’t even have it pointing towards the sea? ?

The UK has been experiencing a record-breaking heatwave that is expected to carry through July.
Temperatures are set to hit highs of 26C in Edinburgh this week.
Pauline said: “I’m happy my photo has made people laugh, smile and share. Us Scots definitely have the best sense of humour in the world.”
