Dean Village is an intriguing place, situated northwest of the city center of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was formerly known as the “Water of Leith Village” and had been a successful grain milling area for more than 800 years, with eleven mills powered by water from the local river. The village declined in the 19th century due to the development of larger and newer flour mills elsewhere. However, in the mid-70s it began to be recognised for its tranquil oasis location and restoration work began on old workers cottages, warehouses and factory buildings. Nowadays, Dean Village is one of Edinburgh's most desirable residential areas. Its history and restored architecture make it the perfect spot to take a stroll and learn about the region's past.
