An ancient bridge crosg [crossing] the River Almond having 3 arches and is of narrow dimensions with parapets it has undergone several repairs as may be inferred from the dates inscribed 1619-87 & 1776.
Ext. [Extract] from Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Cramond "The old bridge over the Almond was in a ruinous & impassable condition in 1607 as appears from an Act of the Scottish Parliament It bears three successive dates of repair 1619, 1687 and 1776 - The oldest arch is groined and of a structure similar to the old arches of Bothwell Bridge over the Clyde or that of the Maiden Bridge over the South Esk." - Ext. [Extract] from the Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] 1845 "Almost immediately adjoining the Old Cramond Bridge, stands Braehead the property of W.H. Crawford Esq of Crawfordland. The Howiesons Page 8 of Braehead are of Old standing in the parish and from tradition we are informed that part of the property of Braehead was obtained from one of the King's of Scotland as a reward for service rendered by one of their ancestors who came to the rescue of his Majesty when attacked by a gang of gipsies or robbers and who with a flail for his weapon and "fortiter pugncuis" delivered the Laird of Ballengeich from his assailants The tenure by which this royal gift of land is held is the presenting of a basin of water and a napkin to the King of Scotland to wash his hands if so inclined which was accordingly done by Mr Crawford at the banquet given to George 4th in Edinburgh in 1822. The rose water then used has ever since been hermetically sealed up and the towel which dried the hands of Majesty on that occasion has never since been used for any other purpose. |

Parish of Corstorphine
Corstorphine Church. -Abridged Ent: from Stat: Acct:18.39.-
Towards the clos of the 14th Century Sir Adam Forrester of Corstorphine erected near the Parish Church another
Chapel; which was dedicated to St John the Baptist and he founded three chaplainries in it and paid to the
Chaplains during his life £24- Scots yearly. After his death this was confirmed by King James 1st who also
granted to Sir John Forrester his heirs the right to present fit persons as chaplaincy to the Bishop of St Andrews
who was bound to admit them to the benefice. Two other chaplainries were founded in the same chapel by
Dame Margaret Forrester. - In 1429 Sir John Forrester founded a Provostry or Collegiate Church
in the kirk - yard of the then parish church of Corstorphine. The second chapel was probably built into this
Collegiate Church for there is no mention of its separate existence after the year 1429 and they were both ded:
icated to the same patron Saint - St John the Baptist.
- Abridged Ent: from Sir John Sinclair's Stat: Acct: 1795. Vol: 14th pages 448 & 449 -
The church is an ancient building in the form of the Jerusalem Cross erected by Sir John Forester of
Corstorphine in 1429. and dedicated to St John the Baptist. The coat of arms of the family of Forester
is every where dispersed over the building. Within the Church in niches are several monumental remains of
this family. The figures cut out in stone are as large as life : Amidst that decay which they appear to
have suffered from time & decay they exhibit proofs of having been executed with dexterity & skill. The male
figures are covered with complete armour and the female appear richly ornamented according to the
fashion |
