Around Edinburgh – Cramond

Cramond lies on the shores of the River Forth at the western extremes of Edinburgh.

It is a popular area for walking, with a beach, walks alongside the River Almond, and if the tide is right, you can cross over the causeway to Cramond island.

Always take note of the tide times though as many people have to be rescued from the island every year when they find themselves cut off by the tides.

It also lies on the main approach to Edinburgh airport, so there is a steady stream of low flying planes on the final approach.
