GUARD 1996
On a small promontory at the east end of Port Seton are the remains of the outdoor swimming pool. The building is in the process of being demolished and the pool area itself is filled in with demolition debris. The north and west walls were upstanding and were of brick and concrete construction, the north wall had four tiers of seats overlooking the pool area. A new indoor pool now exists at Seton Sands Caravan Park. The library that was opposite the outdoor swimming pool has also been demolished.
Site recorded by GUARD during the Coastal Assessment Survey for Historic Scotland, 'The Firth of Forth from Dunbar to the Coast of Fife' 22nd February 1996.
