CRAMOND is a parish and village, 4J
(miles from Edinburgh, and has a terminal
station on the Edinburgh and Cramond Brig
branch of the Caledonian railway : it is in
the small debt court district of Edinburgh;
4he parish, which contalins a small portion
â– of Leith parliamentary burgh, lies on the
south shore of the Firth of Forth, and i
bounded on the west by the river Almond,
the village of Cramond, on the east sfide of
(the creek into which the river falls,
â– known to have been an important Roman
â– â– station. Opposite the mouth of the Almond,
at a short distance from the shore, is
Cramond Island, the property of the Earl
of Rosebery K.G., K.T. which rises with a
gentle slope into a hill of moderate elevation,
and part of it is cultfivated. This place, from
1628, gave the title of baron to the Richard-
son family, of Norfolk, of which was Sir
Thos. Richardson kt. lord chief justice, and
speaker of the House of Commons (d.
1634) ; the peerage is supposed to have
become extinct on the death of William, 5th
baron, 28 July, 1735, bub this is quite open
to doubt. The parish contains the villages
of Cramond, Davidson's Mains (which see)
and the port of Granton, which is included
with Edinburgh. Cramond Bridge, where
is the terminal station of the Caledonian
railway, is situated on the Almond river,
here crossed by a fine stone bridge, con-
nected with a road from Edinburgh to South
Queensferry, 5 miles from the city. Silver

parish is 4,783 acres ; rateable value,
J£30,626 ; the population in 1891 was 3,163,
and in 1901, 3,815, viz. : Mainland, 2,727
