Answered by Rhona Brankin on 12 Oct 1999 · 15 days after it was lodged, on time

Historic Scotland has been in discussion with the proposed developers and the local planning authority about proposed developments which would affect the extensive Roman remains at Cramond. The Roman fort and civil settlement at Cramond is a scheduled monument and as such any works affecting it require the prior written consent of Scottish Ministers.
