Although Cramond has only been “attached” to Edinburgh for the last 100 years or so, our history goes back to hunter gatherers that were in the Cramond area 10,500 years ago one of the oldest recorded evidence of humans after the last ice age.
In addition to this we have a significant Roman history, and iron production history and lots more.
To find out more about these items and much more treat yourselves to a stroll around the area with one of our guides who will tell you some facts (and some fictions) about our rich heritage.
Each walk lasts 90 minutes.
