Musselburgh lagoons is an alright spot the record flounder for Scotland came from there, however you may get a blank session there depending on the weather. Another spot which steveb informed me about is coldringham bay you get flounder, plaice and dabs from there. Good luck entertaining the 12 year olds ;D

i put a list of a few places to fish in the forth on an earlier thread , but just incase i missed this one i will put it on now.
tyne sands - mouth of the river tyne at dunbar
this is a top mark for flounder fishing with the added chance of catching coalfish, eel and bass, fresh crab or rag are top baits with rag tipped with mackeral also good, 2 or 3 hook rigs with size 1 hooks and a grip lead will be needed on the bigger tides, fish from low water till 1 hour past high
getting there from the a1, follow the a1087 to dunbar, turnoff at the country park just before the signpost indicating west barns , take the road to lingfield car park and follow the paths to the beach
