Hi Mina, the tide tables for Leith are listed here:

Wikipedia says to add 4 minutes for Cramond Island, though, as it is a long walk I’d recommend not timing it to the minute but giving yourself plenty of time :)

Obviously they change throughout the year so you should check before going!

“And now that the journey is over and you’re heading back to Edinburgh, how about a piece of advice. Make sure you pay Cramond Inn a visit. It’s a cozy little pub that has some of the cheapest beer in Edinburgh and a village atmosphere that will definitely charm you.”

Well I think success has gone to their heads. I found it the most basic and overpriced for the simplest of food. Shocked going back to a once good pub too see it taken over and run by, it would appear, highway robbers.
Who charges 5 pound for some haggis in filo as a starter and who charges nearly a tenner for a burger! I rest my case!
I hope it returns too days of old.
