The Cramond Old Bridge is a bridge in Cramond, Edinburgh, Scotland that crosses the River Almond.[1] The bridge carries the National Cycle Route 1, National Cycle Route 76 and the John Muir Way.
The bridge used to carry the A90 road but was superseded by the nearby Cramond New Bridge which now carries the road. It was designated a category A listed building in 1970.[2]
History
The original bridge was built in the 15th century.[1] By the 16th century it was in disrepair and could not be used. A Scottish Act of Parliament was passed to rebuild the bridge. The bridge was rebuilt between 1617 and 1619. It has been repaired several time since then.[2]
