Used to play here as a kid!! Remember getting caught out by the tide and having to spend what seemed like HOURS waiting for it to go out again so we could get back home to Corstorphine. Recall my parents didn’t seem too bothered that I’d been away for about ten hours!! 😂😂😂 Happy days 😊 Great video and took me all the way back to my childhood. Seems so long ago but also just like yesterday as well.
Being fairly new to your channel, I'm still on catch up and I think this is my favourite video so far. It was just what I needed in these times and especially so at 4.15am on a Thursday when the insomnia has kicked in once more. I wasn't expecting to be sitting here feeling relaxed and with a smile on my face 😊 thanks Steve and Alicja.
Thanks so much for the kind comments! Really glad you liked it. It was a lot of fun to make, can't wait for more exploration of this lovely, and underrated, island :)
This took me back nearly 45 years ! Camped on the island many time in my youth best summer holidays ever! Water carrying from the mainland was the only drawback .
Clean and Tidy !!, well there's a surprise, last time I took a wander (early last year) it was full of rubbish, litter etc... someone's done a superb cleaning job, superb video.
Cheers for watching! I was as surprised as you about the shelters - I was sure at the very least they wouldn’t smell too fresh, but they were perfect! Someone’s done a great job for sure, hope they stay that way!
Very seldom could you find an island so near the city and yet very solitude, serene and beautiful. The shot of the Robin 4:00 was awesome. Well done, Steve.
Your cinematography and editing skills are improving enormously. Even though I live on the Forth , never visited Crammond so thank you for your excellent visits.
I've been following your videos for a couple of years, Steve, and decided to go back and watch them all from the very first. What a great decision! So interesting to see how your channel has developed from a great start to phenomenally compulsive viewing. Also, so good to see Alicja appearing initially on this early video. All my best wishes - Bryan in northern Greece
I thought that was lovely content, seeing places like this is always nice; even if it's just round the corner from you, it's still new and exciting for us!
Such a unique and atmospheric place, yet so close to Edinburgh. As an avid watcher of “ Saving Lives at Sea” what fun to see a real life RNLI rescue. Thank you for sharing. 👏👏👍😎
Thank You! from Burbank, California. U S A< I so glad to see your video, since it's nearly impossible for us to travel . It was like going on a short vacation. Very nice!
A really peacefull video. During lockdown here in Devon, I explored much more of the area where I live, and found some wonderful places off the beaten track. I found one such place within walking distance from my home, and it was a truly wonderful experience to sit on top of one of the highest points in Mid Devon, between Exmoor and Dartmoor with Sidmouth in the back ground. Only the Buzzards circling above. Like you I am enjoying what is local.
Sounds like heaven! I haven’t been down there for years, long overdue! Yeah, discovering local places is certainly the silver lining to not being able to travel. I wish you well
What a lovely film you made of your excursion. So professionally done. I felt it should be on television (and so much better than what is available too). So relaxing. I felt I had my own mini escape.
Our man in Musselburgh rented the Kirk to do business with our German friends. It was November and literally freezing, the guys were impressed with the island (don't mention the...), even more so with the Inn!
Beautiful video . I grew up in Edinburgh and loved spending time anywhere along the Forth estuary . Evenings when the sun sets are simply magical . Thank you for sharing and reminding me .
Steve. What amazes me is the lack of modern technology in building this fortification back in the Day. Cheers for some great history of my home land Albert 👍
Fantastic. Me and my daughter visited Edinburgh 3 years ago and we camped in the car park there for 2 of the nights. Went out to cramond, just made it back over the causeway and also found the little treasure box hidden in the stone wall. Think I left a ticket from Severn valley railway with the other photos. Thanks for the happy memories 👍
Discovered your channel by searching mooth-enhancing posts concerning our most famous destination since years : Scotland. Your posts are relaxing, no,silly music or stupid comments, in contrast they’re informative, especially this one, flew many times over this island,, and i’ve seen it now through your efforts & discoveries. Thank you for that ! Keep it safe please ! Windy greetings from Antwerpen, Flanders 👍
Are you kidding me, Steve?! Enormous creativity has flown here! Cheers to you both as always! Best mornin' watch before my daily service starts! Thanks for taking me there virtually and showing me around! Now I began to adore Edinburgh! Most definitely a place to discover! .) Aye! Capt. of the Blackthorne
Lovely to see Cramond again, the wee Scottish village that once housed a future Roman Emperor & military general. You can just about imagine the Roman fortress with its galleys over the estuary of the river... from memory, though a little on the dear side, the pub is one of the better ones as well. 've been there a few times when taking visitors around the city and its suburbs....
Thank you. Your videos always spark my imagination; not a mean feat given my innate grumpiness! I’m fascinated by the originality of each of your videos. The format regularly changes. Also the island reminds me of Singapore’s doorstep rural island: Palau Ubin.
It's late October now so to watch this cracking episode of Crammond in all its glory bathed in sunshine was brilliant! Well done and thanks for making me smile in this covid crap lockdown. 👍😁
Cramond island is awesome. Spent most my teenage year there. Sitting ontop one of the huts. Always wanted to camp this island. Apparantly someone has bought the island now.
@@steve-marsh yes it was awesome. Spent most my summers there. I know a few people that live in Muirhouse (about 15 - 20 mins away). I suspect it could just be a rumour because I can't find anything online. Close to £1m I'd guess.
This was lovely and so peaceful! Your videos are the only Scotland ones I watch regularly. I am going to be visiting in October! It’s my second visit and I can hardly wait. We are spending two days in Edinburgh, then heading north, mostly following the A9 to Inverness, but with several stops along the way. On to Smoo cave, John O’Groats, then into the Cairngorms. (Lots of distilleries to explore🥃) We have researched places and things we want to see, but I always welcome suggestions. Thank you so much for creating this channel!
Amazing how we overlook these lovely wee places on our doorstep. Not sure about the ghosts but I think in Cramond Island after dark I would maybe have a respectful attitude towards them.
Stunning, totally amazing the vibes, the views... i just love the way you explain the things, that music is gorgeous too, i really enjoy your video mate! Well done :)
Loved this video Steve! So well shot! It looked so peaceful and blissful! Aww, the wee robin! They always make me think of your mum! Loved his wee spindly legs!
No need to excuse yourself for this video. It's a fabulous one. I said it once before and I say it again: You make me sooo jealous of you both, living there in gorgeous Scotland. hahaha. Alba gu bràth
Thank youfor this too. I took my sister to the island. She was over the moon . Lovely wee trip. Cheers. Wouldnt stay in those concrete holes! Looks creepy.
Great video it's been a minute since I was over but been thinking about it for a while now, excellent videoing camera work and the weather did do you good for real very well done to the two of you and i was impressed with everything on here it's been very well edited too, Scotty boy from Edinburgh,
Steve, this was great!! Looks like a real fun adventure.....nice you were able to pop over to the pub for a quick beer.....nice to have a small treasure like that so near to the city to go & visit & no ferry or anything needed either.....loved Rocky the Robin....very cute!!
I'm on Cramond Island as I text this!
To be honest Steve you would make a brilliant Scottish tour guide mate 👍
Used to play here as a kid!! Remember getting caught out by the tide and having to spend what seemed like HOURS waiting for it to go out again so we could get back home to Corstorphine. Recall my parents didn’t seem too bothered that I’d been away for about ten hours!! 😂😂😂 Happy days 😊
Great video and took me all the way back to my childhood. Seems so long ago but also just like yesterday as well.
Hah that’s so cool! You seriously had the best playground as a kid - a whole island! Hope you realise how lucky you were :) cheers for watching!
Was the forest just as present as nowadays? With the old sheep house there I can imagine that the forest has only been growing the last decades
No end to how beautiful and amazing Edinburgh is 😊

I do hope the RNLI made them pay for the their rescue, why not wait until tide turns, lovely video
Couldn't agree more to be honest! Cheers for watching!
Very seldom could you find an island so near the city and yet very solitude, serene and beautiful. The shot of the Robin 4:00 was awesome. Well done, Steve.
So peaceful, so beautifully photographed, just loved this video.
Your cinematography and editing skills are improving enormously.
Even though I live on the Forth , never visited Crammond so thank you for your excellent visits.
Cheers Steve!
Very relaxing even 4 years later! Thanks!
Thanks!
Ahh childhood memories ❤ camped on Crammond often in ur youth .. thanks Steve👍
What’s not to like Steve? Traffic free, silent, and beautiful!
I think your normal content just got a wee bit wider!!!
Regards, and thanks!
Cheers! I really used to take all these places for granted, but I appreciate it so much more now I’m older (and wiser?)
Looks like a lovely place,hope the couple who missed tide made a donation for being picked up😂😂another excellent video
Thanks
Hey that's incredibly generous of you, thanks so much!!!
Really enjoyed that. Thanks. Impressive photography!
I lived in Edinburgh for 12 yrs. Never thought to go to Cramond. Just beautiful as is so much of Scotland.
Thanks for watching Ann, much appreciated!
Very nice indeed, Steve. Australia.

Cheers Richard!
I thought that was lovely content, seeing places like this is always nice; even if it's just round the corner from you, it's still new and exciting for us!
Cheers Tom! It’s weird, I’ve always known about it but didn’t realise it was so cool to explore! Thanks for watching :)
that was SUPERB! your best video by far,cheers
Thanks so much Geoff, it’s so easy to film in beautiful weather like that :) cheers for the kind feedback, inspired to plan another one now!
What fun! This was great content. I'd put a tent inside one of those fortifications if the weather was REALLY miserable.
Absolutely! I was amazed at how clean they were. Cheers for watching :)
Such a unique and atmospheric place, yet so close to Edinburgh. As an avid watcher of “ Saving Lives at Sea” what fun to see a real life RNLI rescue. Thank you for sharing. 👏👏👍😎
I personally Colin from Cardiff enjoyed watching all of your TH-cam clips Steve and alicja
Thank You! from Burbank, California. U S A< I so glad to see your video, since it's nearly impossible for us to travel . It was like going on a short vacation. Very nice!
Cheers Roger! Really appreciate you coming along for the trip :)
Your scotland videos are the best! More of them please.
More coming soon :) Thanks so much for watching them :)

Loved it! No apologies necessary! 🇧🇾🤗

Lovely video. What a nice spot. Thanks!!
I hadn’t realised before how cool it’d be there, so glad we went! Thanks for watching :)
Eye candy upon eye candy with superb narration. Really enjoyed that thanks. 👍
Thanks so much for watching! A beautiful island for sure, I had no idea there was so much to see and do there :)
Superb video. Very well done. Loved watching and enjoyed the atmosphere you created here. Loved it.
First Class - makes me want to come back and live in Edinburgh again!!
Cheers Stuart!
I had forgotten about Crammond Island, last time I was there was 40+ years ago. Excellent video.
You are overdue a return visit! Cheers for watching :)

So peaceful so close to the city. Great content especially as I have not yet managed to get to Cramond Is, only look at it.
Glad I could show you round, thanks for watching!

Hey Kata thanks so much! :) we really loved that place, and even mores when the tide came in and we were isolated islanders for a few short hours!
So glad you both got some decent weather... begining to think you were jinxed!
Lovely to see Cramond again, the wee Scottish village that once housed a future Roman Emperor & military general.

Most people don't know what they have on there own doorstep steve great film and all the best.
Thanks very much for watching! I had no idea myself, so glad to go there :)
Used to stay overnight in them in the late sixties when I was a laddie great fun
I love your video.
I hope the rescued couple made a substantial donation to the RNLI!
Same! Cheers for watching!
That was a lovely wee jaunt...thanks for taking us along.
Our absolute pleasure :)
@@steve-marsh 🎇😁🎇
Thank you. Your videos always spark my imagination; not a mean feat given my innate grumpiness! I’m fascinated by the originality of each of your videos. The format regularly changes. Also the island reminds me of Singapore’s doorstep rural island: Palau Ubin.
Ohhh another place to add to the list! Thanks so much for your kind comments, inspired to do more videos soon!
Used to see seals from the north side of Cramond Island. Had a bar meal at the Cramond Inn many a time, thanks for the great video
Cheers for watching!
It's late October now so to watch this cracking episode of Crammond in all its glory bathed in sunshine was brilliant! Well done and thanks for making me smile in this covid crap lockdown. 👍😁
Cheers Andrew! We sure got a beautiful Autumn weekend for this one, can't say the same today!
Magical!
I'm loving exploring around Edinburgh with you two. Thanks for another well filmed video Steve.
Cheers! Need some more trips back to Edinburgh :)
Cramond island is awesome. Spent most my teenage year there. Sitting ontop one of the huts. Always wanted to camp this island. Apparantly someone has bought the island now.
What a cool teenage life! Oh really, I’ll need to look into this, thanks!
@@steve-marsh yes it was awesome. Spent most my summers there. I know a few people that live in Muirhouse (about 15 - 20 mins away). I suspect it could just be a rumour because I can't find anything online. Close to £1m I'd guess.

And that is my last Island for now. Going to try and get some sleep it is 6:20am. Another lovely Vlog Steve & Alicja

Your videos are strangely compelling to watch especially with your choice of music. Great stuff.
Thanks very much Barry!
Stunning, totally amazing the vibes, the views... i just love the way you explain the things, that music is gorgeous too, i really enjoy your video mate! Well done :)
Please feel free to make more videos like this, very interesting.
Thanks! I'll try find some more gems like this island :)
@@steve-marsh Please do! What might be everyday or familiar to you might be pretty unusual or exotic to some of us. 😊
What a lovely video
I enjoyed this video of your campout on the island! Nice to be able to get away, yet be so close to town!
Thanks for a very different video👌 Really enjoyable
Just watched and enjoyed.

Thanks so much for watching Vince, and always nice to inspire a trip :)
Wow had no idea this island existed! Also lovely music.

Thank youfor this too. I took my sister to the island. She was over the moon . Lovely wee trip. Cheers. Wouldnt stay in those concrete holes! Looks creepy.
Ahh glad you've both been out there! Very creepy! I don't think I'd be brave enough unless the weather was REALLY bad!
looks fab nice and peasful can see that been a day out when all is back too normal
Aye for sure Jimmy, totally recommend it to get away from it all so close to the city!
