📌 Village in City of Edinburgh
★★
Cramond is almost part of Edinburgh yet at the same time a world apart. 5 miles from the city centre, it’s a sleepy suburb with an old core boasting a cluster of interesting sights for day-trippers: an old church, tower house and even the remains of a Roman fort. The village backs onto the Firth of Forth next to where the River Almond meets it, and following the river bank upstream leads to a series of old mills and weirs. In the other direction, Cramond Island is accessible out in the firth via a mile of tidal causeway – check safe crossing times before embarking on a trip.

🚶 Though its suburbs spread widely, Cramond’s interesting part is easily small enough to explore on foot. Cramond Island and Laurison Castle are each about 1 mi walk away, the former by a tidal causeway. There is no easy access to Dalmeny House or the coast path west from here, due to the lack of a bridge over the river.
🚌 There are direct buses from Edinburgh city centre.
