Half an hour north of Edinburgh by bus is
Cramond Island, reachable by foot on a path revealed only during low tide. Previous uses include sheep farming, vacation spot and WWII marine defense station. While the vacation house still stands, most of the remaining buildings are military fortifications including large gun and searchlight emplacements.
Small islands like the one in the distance were dressed as battleships to ward off enemy ships from afar.
