Cramond Tower, Tower house in Kirk Cramond, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
The stone tower rises near the banks of the River Almond, featuring traditional fortified elements and architectural details characteristic of Scottish defensive structures.
Built in the 16th century, Cramond Tower served as both a residential structure and a defensive fortification during periods of regional conflicts.
The Category B listed building represents the architectural heritage of Scotland, demonstrating the evolution of domestic fortifications through the medieval period.
Visitors can reach the tower via public transportation from Edinburgh city center, with several walking paths connecting to the surrounding Cramond village.
