Cramond Village

With its moored yachts, stately swans and whitewashed houses clustered around the mouth of the River Almond, Cramond is the most picturesque corner of Edinburgh. It is also rich in history - the Romans built a fort here in the 2nd century AD.

With its moored yachts, stately swans and whitewashed houses clustered around the mouth of the River Almond, Cramond is the most picturesque corner of Edinburgh. It’s also rich in history – the Romans built a fort here in the 2nd century AD. Originally a mill village, Cramond has a 17th-century church, a 15th-century tower house and a local history museum in the Maltings, but most visitors come to enjoy a walk along the river or to enjoy a meal or a drink at the Cramond Inn.
