226: Fires on the beach - the UNCO story

Send us Fan MailPortobello beach is a mile long public park and the only public park in Edinburgh in which you are allowed to have a fire. But local firestarter Paul Lambie has been trying to reimagine the way that we do that and has set up a business with his friend Lewis Gourlay creating fire boxes. It’s everything that you need to have a fire on the beach: matches, firestarter, kindling, logs, packed in a box. I found him in a garage near Rosefield park, amid boxes and bits of wood. In this episode he describes how the idea came about and some of the work that's gone in to getting the business to this point.If you’d like to see what the boxes look like and find out more about the Unco story, the website is www.unco.equipment.
