Location

The Cramond Boat Club is located at the mouth of the River Almond at Cramond, only 4 miles from the centre of Edinburgh.

 

 

Cramond has a long and fascinating history as a port, the earliest recorded use being by the Romans.  A fine example of a Roman fort was discovered at Cramond in the 1950s.  The River Almond was used in conjunction with the iron trade in the 18th and 19th centuries, importing iron and exporting nails all over Europe.

Facilities

The Clubhouse is situated on the quayside by the River Almond.  On the first floor the premises include a lounge bar with panoramic views over the moorings and the Firth of Forth, and a function hall with kitchen.  On the ground floor there is a committee room, changing rooms with showers and toilets, a workshop and boat sheds for the Club rescue boats and members' tenders.

 

The Club lays moorings for around 40 keelboats in the mouth of the River Almond, and has an enclosed dinghy park with space for another 40 boats.  Visiting yachts can lie alongside at the quay wall and visitors are given the use of the Club facilities.
