Dean Village - Edinburgh's worst kept secret?

Dean Village; in a hidden valley, in the heart of Edinburgh's new town. Once Edinburgh's best kept secret and a calming oasis in the middle of the city.

How did it survive and remain unspoiled through the centuries?

Dean Village is one of Edinburgh's most photographed locations. It's a must-see for anyone travelling to Edinburgh, popular on Facebook, instagram and tiktok, but it was once in a state of decay. This is the story of Dean Village's past and its rebirth in recent times.

Follow my adventures as I travel through the landscapes and history of Scotland. I make quick, quirky and (hopefully) funny content about Scotland's past, people and scenery.

I look for the hidden stories, forgotten people and beautiful scenery of Scotland and try to find the funny in the darkness, obscurity and occasional absurdity of our history.

How did I not even know this exists!? This is definitely on my list of things I can do in Edinburgh to avoid going to see you! :)

The number of times that I’ve been to Edinburgh and I never knew of this place! It’s beautiful!

I love small towns and villages! There seems to be so much more history than big cities.

Lol, it's nice to take a break from darkness and gore every once in a while! 😅 Gorgeous oasis of green foliage and running water in the city - the waterway reminds me of Rock Creek Park that's in the Washington DC Metro area.

Another fun exploration - thanks!

A beautiful little hamlet with some rich history, then build a bridge and it's open to the world. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of Scotland. 🙂❤️
