An impressive Edinburgh tower that dates back to medieval times has joined the market.
Cramond Tower has been described as ‘historically significant’, and spans over 3,500 square feet. While ‘modern’ renovations have been made, the tower maintains its period features.
It also boasts views towards the city centre and the Firth of Forth, and is arranged over five floors. Sellers are accepting offers over £850,000 for the four bedroom property.
The area boasts ‘rich heritage and scenic coastal walks’, and has a village-like atmosphere. It’s defined by cobbles lanes and period cottages, and has been described as perfect for families and professionals alike.
A spokesperson for Rettie & Co, who are currently selling the home, said: “Cramond Tower offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a landmark property steeped in heritage.

“Set discreetly back from the road, this former defensive tower now serves as a warm and inviting home, retaining countless period details while offering the space and facilities required for contemporary family life. The tower element provides an atmospheric and beautifully preserved historic core, with stone spiral staircases, thick walls, and elevated views, while the later extension creates generous living spaces filled with natural light.
“The result is a home of remarkable character, combining authenticity with functionality.”

Outside the home, the grounds have been described as ‘almost rural’ – despite sitting a short distance from the city centre.
Rettie & Co added: “Located just a short walk from the banks of the River Almond and the picturesque Cramond waterfront, the Tower also benefits from quick access to Edinburgh’s thriving city centre, a range of outstanding schools, and excellent transport links including the city bypass and airport.”
