Scope and Content Cramond Tower, Cramond, Edinburgh, from the south Cramond Tower, a small tower-house built in the 15th century by the Bishop of Dunkeld as a 'summer palace', became the home of James Inglis, laird of Cramond, in 1622, whose descendants built the nearby Cramond House in the 1680s. The tower-house stands on an impressive site overlooking Cramond Island and the Firth of Forth. The four-storeyed tower has large windows on the first two levels, a round-arched doorway, and a stair turret that serves all the floors. Cramond appears as 'Bishop's Cramond' in the 15th century. The Bishop of Dunkeld, who was granted the land by King David I in 1160, built a tower-house in strategic position north of the church, and appointed and paid a priest to conduct services.
