Cramond Roman Fort is a Roman-Era archaeological site at Cramond, Edinburgh, Scotland.[1] The settlement may be the "Rumabo" listed in the 7th-century Ravenna Cosmography.

The fort was established around 140 AD and occupied until around 170 AD, with a further period of occupation from around 208 to 214 AD.[2] Among the many archaeological finds, one of the most famous is a sculpture known as the Cramond Lioness.
