The Edinburgh island that used to guard Firth of Forth from submarines during war

There is no better way to spend your Saturday or Sunday afternoon than exploring one of Edinburgh’s amazing natural beauty areas.

One ideal spot, which is not as busy or overcrowded as your usual Arthur’s Seat or Blackford Hill is Cramond Island which can only be accessed at specific times.

Located within the Firth of Forth in the north west of the capital, the island can only be reached on foot during low tide and offers some breathtaking panoramic views of Edinburgh and Fife’s coastline including the three Forth bridges.
