Scope and Content Late 19th-century view of Cramond Glebe Road, Cramond, Edinburgh, from the north 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 lane, bounded to the east by a high stone wall, was constructed c.1778 as the 'New Road' to the village. The pantile-roofed Cramond Inn (left) dates from c.1670, and, further up the hill, behind the wall, lies Cramond Church and its manse. In 1778 Sir John Inglis of Cramond House financed the expense of 'making the New Road and enclosing it on each side with a dry stone dyke' in order to divert the existing road from running close to his house, and to thus gain some privacy.
