About Dean Village
A former milling community hidden in a gorge along the Water of Leith, just ten minutes walk from Princes Street. Historic 17th-century buildings with carved millstones line the river, and the dramatic Dean Bridge soars 106 feet overhead, designed by Thomas Telford in 1832.
Insider Tips
Follow the Water of Leith Walkway west from Dean Village to Stockbridge for a peaceful 15-minute riverside stroll past weirs and historic buildings.
