Cramond Island

Yesterday I was encouraged to visit Cramond Island by Patty. Jessica and I decided that it would be a nice thing to do outside since the weather was so nice. Cramond is about an hour away by bus if you make all of your connections on time. Sadly we did not, but it was okay we only had to wait fifteen minutes until  the next bus came. We were unsure what stop we need to get off at so as soon as we saw water we got off the bus and started walking to the water. It was only about half a mile to the water through a nice residential area and once we got to the water there was a nice park. At low tide it is possible to walk across to the island on an old bridge. Lucky for us it was low tide.

The island was once used as an military bunker in WWII and there are still some buildings on the island.

There is also a old Roman fort in the area and you are able to see the remains of the bath house just up from the park.

Then on our way back into town we stopped at the National Museum of Scotland. It is a really modern building that does not seem that big but once you go in it is endless. We were only there for a little less than two hours but we only saw two exhibits. I plan on going back to see more. It was free and just across from the Elephant House where Harry Potter was started.
