Please use the contacts page to get in touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 \u201cUniversity of Cramond\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 &#8211; 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&#8217;s early Iron works. It is likely that we have one of the oldest continually occupied areas in Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"51\" src=\"http:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/screenshot-2025-12-06-131149-1.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"50\" src=\"http:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/screenshot-2025-12-06-131302.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1287\" height=\"884\" data-id=\"48\" src=\"http:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/screenshot-2025-12-06-131544.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/screenshot-2025-12-06-131544.png 1287w, https:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/screenshot-2025-12-06-131544-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/screenshot-2025-12-06-131544-1024x703.png 1024w, https:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/screenshot-2025-12-06-131544-768x528.png 768w, https:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/screenshot-2025-12-06-131544-437x300.png 437w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1287px) 100vw, 1287px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"47\" src=\"http:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/screenshot-2025-12-06-131556.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"46\" src=\"http:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/screenshot-2025-12-06-131623.png?w=645\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"49\" src=\"http:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/screenshot-2025-12-06-131646.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"7\" src=\"http:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image.png?w=800\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image.png 800w, https:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-450x450.png 450w, https:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-60x60.png 60w, https:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-550x550.png 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"8\" src=\"http:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1.png?w=768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">copyright Dundee Uni<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10\" src=\"http:\/\/cramondheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-2.png?w=768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Maltings is the Cramond Heritage Trust&#8217;s permanent exhibition of the history of the area from 8500 BC to the present day.
