Scope and Content Aerial view of Cramond village and the River Almond, Edinburgh Cramond, a picturesque village at the mouth of the River Almond, lies on the shores of the Firth of Forth. It developed as an 18th-century industrial village, but its origins date back to the 2nd century AD when it was the site of a Roman fort. The village lies in the angle between the river and the Firth of Forth, at the northern edge of its suburban hinterland. The area of ground between the medieval tower-house, Cramond Tower, and the church was the site of the Roman fort. The Romans came to Cramond c.142AD to establish a supply fort to serve the Antonine Wall, a frontier line stretching across Scotland from the Forth to the Clyde. The fort had a large settlement outside its walls, and probably a harbour. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
