Cramond |
The River Almond joins the Firth of Forth at Cramond. Evidence of the Romans has been found at Cramond, including an old boatyard, a little further up the river. Cramond remains a popular centre for sailing small boats and dinghies. The river is tidal. Boats can enter and leave within about 3 hours of high tide. At low tide, there is a causeway, giving access by foot to Cramond Island, about a mile offshore. |
