CRAMOND
Cramond - Photo: Richard Webb CCL
Dating back to Roman times, this picturesque village of white-washed cottages lies northwest of Edinburgh’s city centre. Robert Louis Stevenson described it in his novel ‘St Ives’.
The River Almond joins the mighty Firth of Forth here and the district is full of history.

Walkers can make their way across a causeway to Cramond Island, tide willing. The church stands on the site of a Roman fort built by Antoninus Pius in 142 AD.
