To be honest Steve you would make a brilliant Scottish tour guide mate 👍

In 1975 my friend and I found an old chest buried in the Northern tip of the island full of Spanish Gold coins. We grabbed a handful each then moved the chest to Bury in a different spot. This day was the final day of the schools summer holidays, so it was 2 weeks before we got back to the Island, and guess what? Yep we couldn't find the place we had buried the treasure in cause we didn't think about drawing up a map, no phone cameras back then. I don't think it was ever found, because there was a lot of Gold coins. 2 yrs later we found a silver candle stick, which had been stolen from the Dalmeny castle eastate in 1901.

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.

I do hope the RNLI made them pay for the their rescue, why not wait until tide turns, lovely video

I personally Colin from Cardiff enjoyed watching all of your KZfaq clips Steve and alicja

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.

I'm on Cramond Island as I text this!

So nice to see you two out and about together in any situation 👍👍

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 .

Ah the Cramond Inn, my old stomping ground 🍻

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.

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.

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 .

I asked if you had a blog on Cramond, then that same night I come across it! I used to go there and fish, then head back home once the tide went back out as I made my escape back to reality! The history of that island - you would think a plaque could have been erected paying respect for those who manned the island from those German invaders! What I love about Scotland, we do not pull down our historic buildings! When one visits them, it makes you think in what it must have felt like for them, yet glad I never lived in that decade! I have loads of edited films which I took and recorded them on VHS tapes from around Scotland which sadly are stacked in a box in my loft! I am a pensioner now and technology in being able in be watching them again is out of sight. I would love to capture parts of Scotland with a drone! My wife and I and another couple did the WHW, Caledonian canal, Skye, Rannoch station to Fort William etc. Did many trips to France. Had a motor home for 3 years, then my wife had a stroke, so I sold the motor home and am now a carer. Good times came to an end, so enjoy what you are doing today Steve! You are doing a great promotion of the best country in the world - Scotland !

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 :)

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.

Lovely video, I am glad that you shared it with us.

Used to stay overnight in them in the late sixties when I was a laddie great fun

What an awesome video, love the laid back pace of this one, Thanks Steve and Alicja

I walked to Crammond Island twice back in 1999 and 2000. Would like to visit again

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

First Class - makes me want to come back and live in Edinburgh again!!

Looks like a lovely place,hope the couple who missed tide made a donation for being picked up😂😂another excellent video

That was a lovely wee jaunt...thanks for taking us along.

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!

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!

decided to make this island part my next camping holiday, me my tent and a dog, maybe an ebike.

that was SUPERB! your best video by far,cheers

My favourite part of Edinburgh. From Cramond all the way down to South Queensferry.

Very nice indeed, Steve. Australia.

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!

I love your video. I hope the rescued couple made a substantial donation to the RNLI!

I lived in Edinburgh for 12 yrs. Never thought to go to Cramond. Just beautiful as is so much of Scotland.

Lovely video. What a nice spot. Thanks!!

What WAS in that bag? You’ve inspired me to go out with the dog.. never realised the island was as big as that, wow! What’s the point in even getting rescued from there anyway? Just take a few smokes, few drinks, a nice big scran and a battery charger, and maybe even have a sleep.. safe as safe can be

So glad you both got some decent weather... begining to think you were jinxed!

Loved it! No apologies necessary! 🇧🇾🤗

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.

Went there nearly 40 years ago, found a WWII bullet casing.

I'm always tempted to pretend I'm stranded just to get a ride in the RNLI boat. 😉 The Edinburgh punks put on a festival on the island every year. Been to it a few times, great fun!

Really enjoyed that. Thanks. Impressive photography!

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.

I enjoyed this video of your campout on the island! Nice to be able to get away, yet be so close to town!

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

What fun! This was great content. I'd put a tent inside one of those fortifications if the weather was REALLY miserable.

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. 👏👏👍😎

Nice to see your videos. Just found your channel and subscribed:-) Greetings from Norway!

Your scotland videos are the best! More of them please.

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....

Loved the video....thanks

stunning golden sunset crystal clear video images very well done i will subscribe thanks for making this

I got stranded there with now my wife around 2008, just 2 of us on the island, we did waste no time 😅

Fascinating. I never would have had a clue that such a place exists in the city. Thanks. Oh, and would I stay in one of the concrete pillboxes? Yeah, sure, in a pinch. Any port in a storm.

Slept in the building featured at 3.15 in September. Didn't notice any ghosts. Would go again.

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.

Another amazing video 😀

It's brilliant ill be going there agin camped 6 times now

one of the best vids ive seen

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

Really enjoyed this, I had never heard if this place.

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,

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

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

Thanks for sharing.so peaceful and right on our doorstep.look forward to your next post.😎🍺

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 👍

You say local so you are very lucky to have paradise on your doorstep..

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 👍

looks fab nice and peasful can see that been a day out when all is back too normal

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. 👍😁

Beautiful video Steve.

Really good photography and well put together.

I had forgotten about Crammond Island, last time I was there was 40+ years ago. Excellent video.

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.

Fantastic video and what a lovely place. But I couldn’t stay anywhere where there isn’t a toilet!

I walk down to cramond quite a lot when I’m not working, but I’ve never been over to the island (paranoid I’m going to get stuck) one day maybe.

Thanks for a very different video👌 Really enjoyable

Just watched and enjoyed.

Another interesting video Steve.cheers.🍺🍺👍

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 👍

Great video and virtually the whole island to yourselves (except for the birds) . I would imagine that is a very regular call out for for that RNLI team but you are right I would be too embarrassed to call them out for that ,you just wait and bite the bullet until the tide turns around.

Great video mate. Looks beautiful!!👍👍

Eye candy upon eye candy with superb narration. Really enjoyed that thanks. 👍

Good video mate, your channel will grow a lot with more stuff like this

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 lovely video

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.

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!

Nice video, interesting as usual!

Fun to see thanks again

I'm loving exploring around Edinburgh with you two. Thanks for another well filmed video Steve.

Your videos are strangely compelling to watch especially with your choice of music. Great stuff.

We lived in South Queensferry years ago, never got to Cramond Island though...

time well spent

A lot of WWII buildings in my aerea were demolished at the start of this century as they were not safe to enter. Some got restored. So I would definitely bring my own tent... I prefer this video over trips to mainland Europe!!!

The Tides Times are displayed on the board before you set foot onto the island!!! It even warns you not to get marooned!

Magical!

Most people don't know what they have on there own doorstep steve great film and all the best.

KZfaq randomly decided that we should watch this video from two years ago. We have happy memories of Cramond Island. Hope you had a Sam Smith's pint in the pub!

Have spent the night in them before 😝😝

Beautiful...
