Dean Village

As part of your day out with Highland Private Tours, we take you beyond the well-trodden city centre to one of Edinburgh’s most charming hidden corners – Dean Village. Tucked beside the peaceful Water of Leith, this former milling village feels like stepping into another world, with its cobbled pathways, stone bridges and beautifully preserved Victorian architecture.

With your local Edinburgh guide, you’ll explore the village’s quiet lanes, learn about its fascinating industrial past, and enjoy picture-perfect views of Well Court and the surrounding wooded valley. Dean Village is an ideal stop for gentle walking, photography, and experiencing the calmer, more authentic side of Edinburgh – a highlight on many of our private Edinburgh tours.
