Cramond, west Edinburgh

Cramond Village (Scottish Gaelic: Cair Amain) is a village and suburb in the north-west of Edinburgh, Scotland. The community is located at the mouth of the River Almond where it enters the Firth of Forth.

The Cramond area has evidence of Mesolithic, Bronze Age and Roman activity. Cramond was incorporated into the City of Edinburgh by the Edinburgh Boundaries Extension and Tramways Act 1920.

The older houses along the wharf are typical of traditional south-east Scottish vernacular architecture, constructed in stone with harling white lime render finish, with facing stone window and door surrounds and crow-step gables, roofed with orangey-red clay pantiles imported from the Netherlands. A ruined water mill lies further up the River Almond along a quiet walk past a yacht club and sailing boats moored in the river.
