[Situation] The Western boundy [boundary] of the Co. [County] of Edinburgh.
A considerable river which rises in the muir of Shotts about a mile S.E. [South East] of the Kirk of Shotts near the Cant Hills inthe County of Lanark and running in an easterly direction in a line nearly parallel with the post road from Glasgow to Edinburgh by Whitburn which it crosses at Blackburn and recrosses again near Mid Calder. From a little beyond Mid Calder it flows in a north easterly direction and forms the boundary between the Counties of Linlithgow and Edinburgh passing Ammondel, Bliston, Kirkliston, Carlourie and Craigiehall and falls into the Firth of Forth at the village of Cramond where it forms a small estuary navigable for boats for a short distance. The Edinburgh & Glasgow Union Canal is carried across this river near Clifton Hall in the parish of KirKliston by a well constructed aquaduct. The Edinburgh and Glasgow railway is also carried across it lower down the river near KirKliston by an immense viaduct of 43 arches of 50 feet span each and varying from 60 to 85 feet in height. Its principal tributary is the Broxburn which is wholly a Linlithgowshire stream and flows into it from the west a little above Kirkliston. |

"Lauriston Castle, the residence of Andrew Rutherford Esqr. M.P. [Member of Parliament]
is beautifully situated on an eminence not far from the
Sea, a little north from the village of Davidson's Mains
and appears to have been built towards the end of the 16th Century
by Sir Archibald Napier brother of John Napier of Merchiston
the far famed inventor of Logarithms. Many alterations have
been made on Lauriston Castle of late years &c.
This castle at one time belonged to the famous John Law
who raised himself to the high dignity of Comptroller General
of the Finances of France and whose extraordinary history as
detailed in Woods history of Cramond will be read with the
interest of a romance".

A small and ancient village situated 4 miles West of Edinburgh at the mouth of the River Almond. consisting of two rows of houses running North and South, two and three storeys high, and in tolerable repair. it has an Inn and a post Office together with the School house and parish Church a short distans South and the splendid mansion of Cramond House in the Vicinity, a combination of which interspersed with fine wood tends in no little degree to beautify its aspect. it contains about 50 families,mostly poor workmen & sailors. however I must remark the population and size of their Village has been greatly decreased especially about the year 1826 when no less than 30 houses were razed to the ground owing principally to the much annoyance they gave to the proprietor of Cramond House, about which they were in considerable numbers. the size of this place may be well imagined when it contained 5 streets or Lanes viz. Shore St. New St. Sailors St. Marys Lane and Old Street which [continued on page 58] |

It has a Harbor or Creek in which at High Tide it is 16 ft [feet] deep, and can give ample shelter to vessels no exceeding 80 Ton. however there are few that trouble it except those connected with the Ironworks. and in the shipping of stone. which places are about 1/4 of a mile up the River and are easily reached by such vessels. As regards the remote history of this place, and in order to give as concise a summary as possible of the most remarkable events, I may commence as far back as the beginning of the Christian era, when this County was first conquered by the Romans A.D. 43 under the command of Plautinus Lieut [Lieutenant] of Claudius Caesear, who who following his victorious General the ensuing year subdued a Great part of Brittain and as a memorial of his conquest gave his son the honorary appellation of Brittanicus. (John Woods History of the Parish) he says that some imagine that a settlement was formed at Cramond during the reign of Claudius Caesear, from the circumstance of several Coins and medals of that Emperor being found here He (Wood) continues by saying that "This however is but slender evidence to oppose to the continued [on page 59] |

[continued from page 58]
"the established fact that Julius Agricola the Lieut [Lieutenant] of Vespasian, was the first Roman commander that penetrated so far North as the Firth of Forth; and this expedition into Scotland did not take place before the 80th year of the Christian Era. However it is evident from the great number of altars, Coins, medals (brass and gold) a Lime Kiln, portion of a Dock, Tesselated pavements and several other vestiges, is sufficient proof thereof that this must have been one of the most important naval and Military Stations in Scotland. I also quote another passage from Woods History which I think is worthy of notice.--"the situation of Cramond at the mouth of a well sheltered harbor to which the military ways afforded a safe and easy access for communicating from the Southern Posts could not escape the observation of the Romans, as rendering it particularly fit for reception of such of their vessels as had occasion to visit the Bodotrian Firth. In proof thereof *Sir Archibald Sibbald mentions that upon the east Side of the mouth of the Almond there has been a Dock for small vessels which Dock has advanced some length into the Forth. From the best authority no doubt the Romans occupied this place for nearly if not more than 200 years, after which a dark cloud of obscurity overshadowed this place till the year 995 when a bloody conflict took place between the forces of Kenneth Commander in chief of Malcolm 2nd. King of Scotland and those of Constantine usurper of the throne who headed his army in person; the former gaining a decisive victory in proof of which masses of bones have been found. |

The site or track of the great Military Road supposed to have been made by Antoninus from Pretorium in Lincolnshire to Cramond by the east end of the Pentland Hills at Rowbridge, from thence to Ravelston, through Davidsons Mains and lastly to Cramond where from the best authorities it crossed the mouth of the Almond and carried on a direct communication West along the Coast to Carridean, the tradition of which asserts it to have passed on the South side of "Mons Hill" the slightest track of which has not been discovered, but evident remains have been found on the erection of Stables at Cramond House and in other places were improvements were making in that estate, consisting of massive boulders and other stones inlaid,(what the people generally term Causeways) but after it left the South Lodge of Cramond House, very little evidence is given in proof thereof for its exact course but still in keeping with the course mentioned in " Woods History of the Parish", in a direct line for Ravelston about 1 1/2 Miles south of Davidsons Mains, the information was derived from W. Clarke a man of some intelligence and a native of Cramond, whose avocation is that of Gardener to Cramond House from the family of which he has derived his information, and especially from the late Lady Torpichen. continued [on page 63] |

who died at an advanced age and who was particularly conversant in those matters.he also derived much information from John Paton who was formerly schoolmaster, for a great number of years, his father and grandfather having partook of the same occupation in Cramond, and who lived to a great age, may also here remark that another of those important Roads look in the direction of Leith were evident vestiges have been found from thence to Aberlady Bay in Communication with the Roman fleet that lay there. the slightest trace of which cannot be discovered. save that of the above. Now I will quote what "Wood says of those Roads," The great Roman Military way, the subject of the first Iter of Antoninus, from Praetorium in Lincolnshire, to Bremenium in Northumberland, proceeded from the last mentioned station, by Eildon and Soutra, to Bowbridge, near the East end of the Pentland Hills. At this place evident vestiges of the Causeway were visible a few years ago; and the present Turnpike Road from Linton to Edinburgh is cut for near a mile in the very line of its direction. From hence the Military Way was continued by Ravelston to Cramond, where several remains thereof have been found, at different times particularly in 1774 when improvements where making adjacent to Cramond House, this Road as is supposed crossed the Almond and passing over Mons Hill went by way of Queensferry and Abercorn to Caeridden. Situated at the eastern extremity of the wall of Antoninus. It is here thereof that no vestigia, can be traced between Cramond and Caeridden; but as General Roy well observed there is every reason to believe that the communication must have been, continued from this important Naval Station along the Forth to the end of the wall.

ROMAN CAMP |

Revd [Reverend] W. Colvin Cramond
W Clarke Cramond |
|
As Nether Cramond formed one of the principal Roman Naval and Military stations in Scotland. I could not conceive otherwise than how it could, but have some fortified camp in order to protect the harbour, this is fully testified by the very name of the place "Cramond", which signifies the fort on the River. (the Celtic Caer) and Almond or Amon a river, hence it would appear from the lofty nature and commanding position of the ground as also the testimony of eminent writers that it was established on the west side of the mouth of the Almond a portion of the entrenchment which still remains. |
