We stayed at John's place and either drove or took the bus into Edinburgh. We are so glad we did, as Cramond Village is much more peaceful than downtown Edinburgh, and has of coarse a lovely view (provides a beach view and walks vs city view and walks). Was nice to stay here and experience the short commute to Edinburgh on the double decker bus, the stop for which is a short 5min walk up the street. There is also a lovely cafe and pub just next door to his place. John met us with a warm greeting and gave is useful advice. :)
