Cramond

Pretty village, promenade, island & pub (££)

Cramond island causeway

Built on the site of a Roman fort, waterfront Cramond Village is a pretty collection of old houses, but the main attractions here are the adjacent long sweeping promenade and Cramond Island.

The Promenade

The promenade is perfect for strolling, inline-skating and biking – with shell-collecting and ice-cream vans (at peak times) to keep the little-ones busy.

Cramond Island

Cramond Island

Cramond Island is a wild and intriguing little place, thanks to its numerous WWII-era ruins, great views of the Forth Bridges, and a causeway that connects it to the mainland outside high tides.


Check tidal information before you set out to ensure you can make it to Cramond Island... and back! Text CRAMOND to 81400 to have safe crossing times sent to you.
