Scope and Content An alley, Cramond Glebe Road, Cramond, Edinburgh Cramond Glebe Road, a narrow walled lane built on the old glebe lands belonging to Cramond Church, is the main road leading to the village. It has a number of 18th-century houses as well as the village's only public house, the 17th-century Cramond Inn. This little alley runs down from the lane to the quayside between two parallel rows of 18th-century mill-workers' houses. On the opposite side of the River Almond is the parkland of the Dalmeny Estate, and the ferryman's cottage on the river bank. A small ferry, started in 1556, carries passengers across the river at this point to the Dalmeny estate. The estate privatised the service in 1622, and it is still in daily operation (except Friday) between Easter and October for a small charge. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
