Cramond Island, Edinburgh


A striking summer sunset; off Cramond Island in the Forth Estuary, just outside Edinburgh.


One of my esteemed antecedents, Antoninus Pius (86 - 161 AD) built a fort at Cramond in the 140's AD. Its nice to pop back on a Summer's evening to view the old place. Its funny to muse that the northern most limmits of Antonius's old empire are now at the very centre of mine.
