Walking Group – Cramond Island

Cramond Island is a tidal island in the Firth of Forth, reached at low tide by a causeway which extends from the village of Cramond. The island is just over a third of a mile long

and rather less than a mile wide.

The island was occupied until the 1930s, with sheep kept on the island until the 1960s. On the outbreak of World War II, the entire island was requisitioned; the resulting structures are still visible. Today the island is deserted save for the occasional group of intrepid picnickers such as ourselves. (Please remember to bring your own picnic lunch for this walk.)
