Cramond Inn, 30 Cramond Glebe Road, Cramond, Edinburgh

The Cramond Inn, located at 30 Cramond Glebe Road, is a building of group value dating primarily from 1670, with significant additions and alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. Further work was carried out in 1959-61 by Ian Lindsay & Partners, with more recent additions to the side and rear. The inn is a two-storey, attic structure, presenting an asymmetrical seven-bay facade and featuring traditional detailing. A single-storey extension is attached to the east, with flat-roofed additions at the rear.

The exterior is whitewashed harl, with raised and painted margins on the front elevation and raised, polished yellow sandstone margins on the side and rear. Crowstepped gables are a prominent feature, and first-floor windows break the eaves line. A pitched, random yellow rubble sandstone outbuilding is situated to the north.

The west elevation, divided into a south wing (built in 1887) and a north wing (dating partly from 1670), showcases a two-leaf timber panelled entrance door within the penultimate bay to the right of the south wing. This doorway has a lugged architrave and roll-moulding, a plain frieze, and a cornice. A Venetian window, architraved and centred within a crowstepped apex, is positioned above. A segmental pend arch with a raised keystone is located to the right of the doorway, with a single window positioned at first floor in a recessed bay behind. The north wing contains a flat-roofed porch with a glazed timber door, along with several windows.

The north side elevation is two-storeys high with eight bays and regularly spaced openings. A glazed and timber door is located in the bay to the outer right, with single windows in the remaining ground-floor bays. Timber-boarded gabled dormerheads are above windows at the first floor in two bays to the left and three bays to the right of centre, with a single gabled dormerhead window in the penultimate bay to the right.

The rear (east) elevation features single windows on the ground floor and an advanced, blank wall to the left of centre. A flat-roofed extension is present to the left of centre, and a single door is found in the bay to the outer right.

The south side elevation is characterised by various piended and flat-roofed single-storey additions, including a door in the penultimate bay to the right. A piended attic window breaks the eaves in the bay to the left, and a blank crowstepped wall extends from the outer left.

The windows are predominantly 12- and 4-pane timber sash and case windows on all elevations. The roof coverings are a mix of machine-made red pantiles, red tiles, grey slated dormers, and a grey slate easing course. Chimneys are present, with harled stacks on the 1887 block, a stack facing west from the 1670 block, a ridge stack in the centre of the north elevation, and projecting coping with circular cans.

The interior was refurbished in the late 20th century and features timber panelled doors, stone fireplaces, a timber mantelpiece, timber panelling, boarded ceilings, and a former external doorway, complete with a stone hoodmould and window, now incorporated into the interior layout.

An outbuilding to the north has a stone lintel above a single garage entry, a two-leaf timber boarded door, and a machine-made red pantile roof.
