DON'T GET STRANDED! Cramond Island vs. the incoming tide.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 тра 2023
- I recently visited Holy Island/Lindisfarne and decided to visit another tidal isalnd, this time closer to home. Cramond is under 5 miles NW of Edinburgh and has loads of WWII ruins. I also watched the incoming tide as calling RNLI to be rescued would have been a little embarassing. #cramond #edinburgh

I hope all those people rescued guve a hefty donation to the RNLI….
Superb mate, well done getting back with dry feet. When that tide does start coming back in, it's incredible how quickly the causeway disappears, like seconds. I can see how people get caught out.
It's a great wee place to visit, but I'm jealous of you camping overnight. That would have been totally surreal.
Come on guys, when are you two intrepid explorers teaming up for a joint video??? UA-cam awaits!!!
Now that would be epic. Start talking guys xx
@@marcocura295think they have did it now... Started off on Dundee and had challenges n that was good
Tide Dodgers! 😊
Nice! I'll second that!
What a pity the buildings on that island are not kept in a better state
Became stranded on Inchcolm in the 50s/early 60s. Dad became ill and we missed the last boat. We jumped up and down, and shouted and were rescued.
Some mates of mine spent a night on the island after not watching the time and tide and spent a night in one of the shelters . They said in no time after dark , the place was over run with rats . It was all down to the rubbish and waste food that was left there . They tried to organise a clean up with people who regularly go to the island and the local council. The people were very willing , but the council tried to stop them for some reason. They have tried again and got the same response and still cannot find why the council refused as all they asked for was for a wagon to turn up after the clean up and pick up the bags of rubbish . Yet my local council, Durham County Council are always willing assist with such schemes and even offer to give out the waste bags , pick up sticks and gloves. Cracking video as always Mate and keep up the great work.
Better safe than sorry of course. Always love your videos Scott. Totally a natural entertainer.
Walking on slippery rocks while filming and providing excellent comments.
Scott. The mountain goat of UA-cam. 👍👍
Last summer after living in Edin off and on for nearly 45 years I finally visited Cramond Island (despite charity runs and walks round Cramond myself). I was shocked as I returned, and could see the tide had changed, so many people were still trying to set off to cross (and this was 20 minutes after they said you should have left the island).
I'm enjoying seeing your videos of places I've seen Steve go 😉
You got us! When you said your watch stopped, we said "Oh no!" to each other. LOL. So easily taken in. Very interesting video as always.
Now we know where all the missing parts of a Toblerone bar have gone :-)
Funny this came up on my feed and I visited there today. Unfortunately the tide was in so I walked down to the old watermill. Obviously weather permitting I visit here quite often. I camped there last year and it was brilliant.
What a lovely little video. I visited Cramond Island a few years ago. It’s great to see someone share their experience.
Nice one! I’ve lived in Edinburgh for 30 years and have never done the causeway! 😊 Must rectify that!
Was on the Queensferry Lifeboat in the 90s and when the sun shone it was only a matter of time before the call to attend Cramond Island came in.
The land / sea bead is really flat there, so I think it will actually come in really quickly. One minute it is completely dry, next minute it is covered in water.
Nice idea really enjoyed but boy did you get me nervious with times then you said your watched stopped phew got me thanks scott enjoyed
Wonderful adventure. I am so glad that you didn't get stuck! Great video. Thanks for showing us around!
Nice little business opperchancity there. Slackers ferry. Fares negotiable.
opperchancity, hahahah. i get it.
I was born close to where the tide goes out a full sixteen miles. When the tide turns, it comes in like an expresss train and, in the past has resulted in a number of deaths. They have subsequently laid roads on the land and via a bridge so it is no longere the only route to and from Foulness Island
very good enjoyed it cheers
If i have a bad dream, sometimes I'm on an island with the tide coming in, and I've lost everyone I was with, can't find them.
I live in a place with the highest tides in the world. There are several lighthouses in the bay accessible only at low tide as well as some island, hiking trails. I find the online tide charts are really good. 😊
Always love your independent travel videos, Scott. Never knew how much there was too see on Cramond. Corrour was enjoyable too ! 🏴👍
had me laughing. well done Scott
I really hate the way taggers destroy properties with spray paint. I too would be worried about the incoming tide. Safe travels.
Never realised the island was so big (relatively), in spite of the many times I've been to Cramond. Fascinating video, Scott. Thank you!
Having lived in Edinburgh for 10 years, Cramond Island was always worth the visit, especially with friends and family. Now I live in Sunny Dundee and still enjoy being by the water of the silvery Tay. Thanks for all your great videos Scott. I watch each and every one.
So far I've 'bagged' St Michael's Mount and that wee one in the bay at Plockton 🥳
Hi Scott you should come to Sligo. And walk or drive across to Coney Island it even has a pub on it!
Great video Scott
Another great video mate :)
Stunning wee island, wouldn't mind having a room with a view there for a night. ^^ Lovely wee tour of the island Scott, thanks ☺
Great Video
Big letdown really after expecting to see the tide rushing in ; maybe it was scaerred off by the sight of the great Scottie . But enjoyed that small ramble at Cramond .
Haha love your sarcasm and sense of humour throughout your videos
There are enough people who get stranded on Cramond that our lifeboat across the other side of the Forth at Kinghorn quite often help out the Queensferry lifeboat with rescues if there are a lot of people stuck.
Really interesting Scott, thanks. I wonder what those raised plinths in a couple of the early buildings were designed for?
@Thomas Henderson Thanks - very helpful.
Ha ha my watch has stopped! I love it.
Enjoyable as always 😊
down in Penzance it's always fun to watch people paddling across from St Michaels Mount as the tide comes in
A really great vid. The walk along the causeway is unreal. I'd love to camp out overnight but as you mentioned Scott the noise of early morning alarm calls from passenger jets doesn't grab me. Inchmickery Island does have the outline of a battleship. I guess it was supposed to deter U-boats from day tripping up the Forth estuary.
Very interesting.
Suggested name for tidal island visitors - Tide runners
One of my fav UA-cam's
I think there's a timetable challenge for you to travel to Guernsey in the Channel Islands cross to Lihou island via the sea floor path and back. Mind you I can also see the local bus route around the island and boat trips to Herm and Sark meaning you'll need to be there for a week to film everything. The Occupation Museum and underground hospital are sobering reminders of WW2, so very interesting too.
My wife spent a week on Lihou as a teenager. We visited about 5 years ago. We used the buses on Gernsey. I think it was a flat fare of £1 and all trackable on line.
👍👍👍
Because they are Islands in the Stream I think they should be called "Dollys". 😆
I visited Cramond Island once in the 1980s. I don't remember it being that green and wooded, more a dune landscape. Even found a bullet casing dating from WW2.
Was hoping for some lifeboat content at the end there. After all it’s is planes, trains and everything 😅
💜 Cramond Island.
Used to camp out there in the summer holidays
You should have went to the Roman fort
Snow on the Pentlands 🤪
Hi there, just came across your channel by chance. For someone like myself who enjoys travelling, it's giving me some great ideas! Out of interest. Have you ever flown into the Isle of Barra? The beach landing is amazing, and the island is beautiful.
The Germans were wary of the shallow waters in the area. Not having the proper boats, particularly during WWII, this area wasn’t attacked. The AA batteries covered nearby approaches to multiple RAF installations. Troops stationed there rather disliked the relative isolation within sight of civilization.
My ancestors were part of the survey team that surveyed the area in the 18th century and their work held up well into the 1990’s. So, I’d say that they did their work well.😊
Inchmickery looks like Alcatraz!
Speaking of the RNLI rescuing people from tidal Islands, where I am in Orkney only last week we had someone rescued by the RNLI at the Brough of Birsay, it's surprising common.
Here I was, thinking Cramond Island was the only tidal island I'd been on, but I've completely forgotten about the Brough of Birsay. I loved both and thankfully haven't gotten stranded on either.
@@h-Qalziel Thanks for replying, you made me realise I'd spelled Brough "Broch," an embarrassing mistake for an Orcadian!
What a shame about the graffiti everywhere. Puts you off going there, and certainly from camping overnight, knowing the type of people you may encounter there.
I feel the same going into the Tate gallery.
Looks lovely, apart. From all the graffiti on every building
Causeway walkers?
Anyway, not realized there is that many tidal islands in UK.
You do like a good causeway .
Island Baggers is my favorite.
Now I wonder if that counts if you happen to live in a country that is an island...
So sad to see everything covered in scribble.
🙄 sO sAd
If anyone did get stuck at least you would have places to get shelter thats probably what i would do
We went to Lindisfarne last year.I always wondered what happens if someone needs an ambulance or the police and the causeway is covered in sea water??
Air ambulance.
@@scotbotvideos good idea
They send a helicopter 🚁 maybe?
A shame the graffiti vermin have been active. We should have robust deterrent punishment like Singapore.
A nice wee change!
How do you afford all these holidays
"main flight path to Edinburgh airport"
Not to worry as it probably only gets 4 planes a day landing there.
You are thinking of Prestwick Airport. Edinburgh is much busier.
Edinburgh's the busiest airport in the UK after the London airports and Manchester.
How about Causeway collectors!!!
Causeway chasers !
island boomerangers
Causewayfarers?
Disappointed a little bit that you didn't wait that out.
Any primitive camping allowed on the island?
Tea baggers?... don't hate me 🤦🤦😂😂😂😂😂
Well Tidal begins with a T, so……😂
I don’t get the mentality of people who go along have a picnic look at the view and then leave their filthy rubbish. They are simply disgusting. Spoiling it for other people.
We shall call you the "Island Infidel" Also im fed up and extremely sad that all these historical ruins and things have been ruined by graffiti...
I do different football grounds and I’m a groundhopper so why not island hopper
Whoever did that graffiti should be returned to the island and have to stay there until they've cleaned it all off!
Hmm do you have an E-Mail Adress where you response to? Thanks
Google it, a factoid is a lie. And it was a 3 inch gun not 75 mm.
Island baggers
I notoced lots of graffiti on that sign something that should be removed
The graffiti sucks
Yes, on my last trip there I don't remember seeing any graffiti.
Teenage Scots love their graffiti
