Cottages at Cramond
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 12 Oct 2017
Ostensibly entirely traditional fishing-village cottages, they date from c1780-90 and were built for workers at the nearby mills on the River Almond. After years of decline they were recast and converted in 1959-61 by Ian Lindsay & Partners as a commission from Edinburgh Corporation. The Listing description includes the comment: “His work at Cramond is acknowledged as an early and relatively successful attempt to restore the architectural core of a village in decline.” Listed Category B.
