Revd [Reverend] W. Colvin Cramond
W Clarke Cramond
As Nether Cramond formed one of the principal Roman Naval and Military stations in Scotland. I could not conceive otherwise than how it could, but have some fortified camp in order to protect the harbour, this is fully testified by the very name of the place "Cramond", which signifies the fort on the River. (the Celtic Caer) and Almond or Amon a river, hence it would appear from the lofty nature and commanding position of the ground as also the testimony of eminent writers that it was established on the west side of the mouth of the Almond a portion of the entrenchment which still remains.
