History 

With excavations producing gems that indicate a Middle Stone Age encampment and a recent history as the centre of advances in agricultural practice and techniques, Cramond's history tells the tale of relentless reinvention, its links with the sea being its only continuing theme. Today, the village maintains the precedent set in the 1800's as one of Edinburgh's most desirable residential locations. Caer Amon is following in this tradition of reinvention and allure, another chapter in the village's story has just begun.

The Roman's occupation of Cramond is a significant part of its history. Recent archeological surveys of the site prior to the construction of new homes provided evidence of a medieval road and a Roman industrial settlement on the site, with a Roman fort and bath house adjacent to the site at Cramond Kirk. It is believed that the Romans took possession of Cramond as early as the 140's AD, bringing great technological and cultural advances to the area. The name Cramond comes from the Roman Caer Amon meaning ‘fortified place on the River Almond'. Progress continues with CAER AMON introducing new advancements to the way of life in Cramond.
