MONDAY 8th APRIL 7.30 – 9pm in CRAMOND KIRK HALLS
See below from the latest update on the campus. These updates are part of the process agreed in the mediation. They allow us all to see what is happening and to take part in the discussion.
The outcome of the process was a compromise but was thought by those involved and those consulted in open events to be a reasonable one that would get something useful done and provide facilities for the community.
What will be produced is still subject to review and consultation so is not yet fixed, so you have the chance to comment.
ROBERT BURNS is the theme of 18 January meeting
A reminder of the community meeting being held in Cramond Kirk on Monday!
It will be chaired by the mediator, Keir Bloomer. Keir led the process involving all parties – CBCC and the Brighouse Resident Association.
Public Meeting to Discuss the Future of the Cramond Inn – TONIGHT 7.30 pm
The Cramond Association has arranged a public meeting to bring the local community together to discuss the future of Edinburgh’s historic Cramond Inn which has remained closed since the pandemic.
Working in partnership with Cramond & Barnton Community Council, the meeting is geared to creating a local action group to get the Inn, owned by brewery company Samuel Smiths, open and functioning again. Speaking at the event will be a representative of Community Shares Scotland to present a ‘model’ for community ownership.
Chair of the Cramond Association Adam Cumming said: “The ongoing closure of the Cramond Inn is one of the most important current issues of concern both for local people and for the thousands of visitors who regularly visit the Cramond Foreshore.
“The Inn has always played a historic role in providing an important local focal point for our community, as well as providing a stunning location from which to explore and enjoy the local area.
“To have its doors shut, with no immediate prospect of reopening is a very sad state of affairs for all of us. We would like to open a positive dialogue with the Inn’s owners to explore all possibilities of it opening up for business and, once again, being at the heart of our local community.”
The open meeting will take place tonight Monday 24th October at the Millennium Hall at Cramond Kirk Halls, starting at 7.30 pm.

PUBLIC MEETING – MONDAY 24th OCTOBER at 7.30pm
Millennium Hall, Cramond Kirk Halls
Thank you to all those who came to on meeting on Tuesday 14th. There was a good turnout and more importantly a lot of lively discussion on what the Association should be doing.
We briefly outlined the various things we already do and then discussed how to approach them to make them better and involve more people. We all agreed that rather than talks this coming season we should have meetings that concentrate on the different activities and explore what is happening and what we should do in each area.
We added the problem of the Cramond Inn to that list as everyone thought we should find ways to add to the pressure from CBCC to change ownership and reopen it as a community place. The History Section will continue to arrange talks as before so there will still be times to hear experts talk on their subjects!
Apart from the Cramond Inn we will have meetings on the Woodlands; the Walled Garden, the airport and noise amongst others.
We will also look at holding events such as the 4th of June or others and that may include a Christmas pantomime!!
It will be different and will be exciting with new people involved, and there is room for many more so get in touch if you would like to be involved – either through our Facebook page or via the e-mail – info@cramondassociation.org.uk
