Scope and Content Cramond Inn, 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. The inn, on the east side of the lane just before it turns to open on to Cramond foreshore, has a pantiled north section dating from 1670. The south extension, with its black-painted crowsteps and pend arch, was added in 1887. The inn was extended to the rear in 1977, and, during the construction of a new car park, excavations revealed the remains of a Roman bath-house, outside the protection of the Roman fort, built in the 2nd century AD a short distance to the south-east.
