Cramond

What better way to start your day than by soaking up the fresh sea air on a bracing stroll along the promenade and beach at Cramond? The popular and picturesque Cramond village boasts whitewashed houses, an old kirk and long stretches of sandy beach. At low tide, you can follow the causeway out to the fascinating tidal Cramond Island, complete with 360 views across Edinburgh and over to Fife, and its ex-military buildings, constructed during WWII. But do keep an eye on tide times.
