Scope and Content Site of the Roman fort, Cramond, 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 fort, the outlines of which are marked in the grass, occupied an area of ground between Cramond Tower (left), Cramond Church and Cramond Inn. A bath-house, outside the fort, was later discovered during the building of the car park at the inn in 1977. The existence of a Roman station at Cramond was long suspected because of the discovery over the years of Roman coins, pottery and inscriptions, but the exact site remained unknown until excavations in 1954-66.
