Representing and promoting the community of Cramond, Barnton and Cammo in Edinburgh and safeguarding its heritage
Cramond Association History Section

History Section

Open to all Cramond Association members and others, for the subscription of £8 per annum.

Visitors and non-members are welcome to attend any meeting for £2. We are a friendly group of 30-40 members, meeting on Wednesday evenings once a month in the Millennium Hall behind Cramond Kirk, with chat and refreshments afterwards.

We invite speakers on a variety of historical topics, not confined to Cramond, Edinburgh or Scotland, who we hope will be both interesting and entertaining, with plenty of time for questions and discussion.

Norah Carlin, Convenor.
