In 1978 the Cramond Association formed the Cramond Heritage Trust to encourage the preservation and improvement of features of natural and historical interest within the Association's area. The Trust is based at the Maltings on the Cramond foreshore and is acknowledged to be a splendid local museum and extensive archive.

Cramond Heritage Trust maintains an exhibition and education centre in the Maltings, Riverside, Cramond. This is open between 2 and 5 pm every Saturday and Sunday from April to September. It is also open every day, at these times, during the Edinburgh Festival.

The Maltings can also be opened at other times by prior arrangement with Cramond Heritage Trust. Knowledgeable guides are available to take organised parties - including school groups - for guided walks.
