AN iconic pub which dates back 300 years has closed its doors just days before Christmas, leaving punters devastated. Crammond Inn, a Samuel Smith Brewery that hails from the 1700, has shut up shop after years serving the Edinburgh community. In a post on the pub's Facebook page, the Cramond Inn team wrote: “Unfortunately the pub will be closing its doors on Saturday night.

"We have been told by the brewery that the pub must shut and stocked out on Monday. We had hoped to stay open until after Christmas. “So get down today and tomorrow to enjoy some drinks as who knows when this historic pub will ever open again.”. The quaint gastro pub is fit with a coal fire, car park, and a beer garden with striking views of the waters of the Firth of Forth.

The boozer closed for three months in 2023 but was saved by the local community who rallied to have it reopened. Just a few weeks later it became the talk of the town when it introduced a no phones policy. Dozens of sad pub goers have expressed their disappointment over its closure on social media.
One user wrote: “So sad! Cramond Inn is the heart of the village...gorgeous log fire and you did wonderful food! Well done and sad you have had to let it go.”. Another said: "This is an absolute nonsense. As a community we have tried to support this most precious and historic of community facilities.".
