The Cramond Brig Pub and Restaurant is positioned next to the Crammond Brig (old Scottish for bridge), where the original 15th-century bridge once stood and served as the original coach house for coaches and travelers heading south into Edinburgh. The Brig had immortality bestowed upon it by Sir Walter Scott with his description of how Jock Howieson rescued the disguised King James V from a fight and received lands around Braehead for service to his monarch. Braehead House circa 1700 is still standing along with the remains of Jock Howieson's cottage.
