Local Walk

Cramond
We took another scenic local walk. This time, to Cramond. It is a village in the city of Edinburgh along the coast about five miles from our flat. For a time it was considered the earliest known site of human settlement in Scotland; it is also the site of a Roman fort. And it is the site of Cramond Island which is linked to land by a one-mile causeway constructed as a WWII anti-shipping barrier. At low tide, sand extends to the island; we were able to walk out there. Quite scenic.
