Description

Location: Cramond Causeway, Scotland, UK

You can see the Cramond causeway that links Cramond Island near Edinburgh to the mainland. (Viewed from The Mainland)

Cramond is a popular area for strolling near Edinburgh. There is a sea front promenade, popular with dog walkers, and if you follow the River Almond up from the shore, there are a couple of cafes and a nice walk alongside the river. If you get the timing right, you can also visit Cramond Island over the paved walkway that is only exposed when the tide is out.

The large concrete pillars were erected along the causeway during the war to stop any boats sneaking up the river Forth. Defensive guns were also stationed on the island during the war, and the remains of those installations can still be seen.
