"OUT OF HOURS" ACCESS
If you have a group that wishes to visit it out with these times, we would be happy to discuss access for a special opening. Please use the contacts page to get in touch.
The Trust is based in the Maltings at 6 Riverside, Cramond (beside the stairway). This part of the building was originally the maltings for the Royal Oak Inn which stood in front of it. The hostelry was a haunt of Robert Louis Stevenson and his friends. The topics of discussion were so wide and deep that RLS described it as the “University of Cramond”
The current volunteers at CHT aim to continue this educational input in Cramond by providing a permanent exhibition site in the village showing the history of the area from 8500 BC - our earliest known evidence of human activity in the area. From then, through the Roman a era and the Dark Ages. Then the more modern times of Kirk, Village and the local estates together with the industrial influence on the river by one of Scotland's early Iron works. It is likely that we have one of the oldest continually occupied areas in Scotland.
