From the Scottish Dene meaning deep valley, Dean Village, first known as Water of Leith Village, was a community of millers first mentioned in 1128. At the beginning of the 18th century, eleven mills were maintained here and the baxters of the bakers' guild conducted a flourishing trade. Nowadays, the district is appreciated for its setting below the city. Follow the Water of Leith Walkway or join the Gallery of Modern Art via the Dean Path, cutting through the picturesque Dean Cemetery.

Question architecture, comme généralement dans les ~Iles britanniques, on regrette souvent que les proportions soient curieuses (le nombre d'or est visiblement peu connu dans ces contrés, de même que la notion de modénature). En général, jusqu'à 1 ou 2 étages, les proportions y sont, dans les édifices plus grands, ça se gâte. Et puis, comme partout ailleurs, pour l'amour du Christ, comme on dit là-bas, ravalez les façades de vos édifices !
