THE HISTORY OF DEAN VILLAGE
The mills of Dene were first mentioned in King David I's founding charter of Holyrood Abbey, usually dated c.1145, in which he granted one of his mills of Dene to the Abbey.
In fact, the building you'll be staying in was originally a mill until c1820 when it was converted into three residential flats by a builder, an architect and a financier.
The area remained a separate village until the 19th century. In 1826, John Learmonth, a future Lord Provost of Edinburgh, purchased the Dean Estate from the Nisbets of Dean.
A bridge was needed to access from one side of the high valley to the other (the low-lying Dean Village was more or less an irrelevance). This was built 1831-2 and opened in 1833.
The four-arched Dean Bridge, spans a width of over 400 feet and is 106 feet above the water level. It carries the Queensferry Road over the Dean Gorge
The bridge transformed access westwards from the city.
In 1847 the Dean Cemetery was created, standing on the site of Dean House. This mansion house was the centre of the Dean Estate which had been bought by Sir William Nisbet in 1609. It was demolished in 1845 to create the cemetery but some sculptured stones are incorporated in the southern retaining wall (visible only from lower level). Seven surviving panels of the painted ceiling (painted between 1605 and 1627) of the great hall of Dean House are now in the National Museum of Scotland.
The cemetery which is one of the few in Scotland run as a non-profit making charity trust (to avoid being asset-stripped), is the resting place of many well-known people, including the railway engineer Sir Thomas Bouch and David Octavius Hill.
The area to the south-west is generally termed Belford, being the site of a ford across the river near Bell's Mills.
Due to the development of much larger and more modern flour mills at Leith, Dean Village's trade diminished.
From the mid-1970s onwards it became recognised as a tranquil oasis, very close to the city centre, and redevelopment and restoration began, converting workers' cottages, warehouses and mill buildings. This included development on a cleared former industrial site on the north side of the river. The area has now become a desirable area which draws in lovers of historic architecture.
The Water of Leith Walkway running from Balerno to Leith was created through the area in 1983.

The Walking City
Edinburgh is a surprisingly contained and main attractions and distances between most of the main points are not too great, although it is hilly – be warned!
From our BnB, you are just a 20-minute walk from Edinburgh Castle and a 25-minute walk from the Royal Mile.
For something a little different, you can take a river walk from directly outside our BnB to Stockbridge. Stockbridge is a small corner of Edinburgh famed for its many charity and boutique stores with plenty of bars, restaurants and artisan delis offering delicious cured meats, cheeses and other gourmet treats.
