Dean Village Edinburgh
Dean Village (from dene, meaning 'deep valley') is a former village immediately northwest of the city centre of Edinburgh. It was known as the "Water of Leith Village" and was a successful grain milling area for more than 800 years. At one time there were no fewer than eleven working mills there, driven by the strong currents of the Water of Leith. The Water of Leith was very low when we visited, but when the river rises, there are flood barrier safeguards.
The architecture in Dean Village is quite unlike other parts of Edinburgh. We have never visited this area before and had walked all the way from the Trinity area of Edinburgh to here before visiting the nearby Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. Next time we are in the city I hope to spend a longer time in the village and make a separate trip to Scottish National gallery.
