I always enjoy your videos Ed, but now and then you simply overwhelm me with your talent. The music on this one is wonderful from start to finish! The history of Dean Village is very important, and you honor it so nicely. The views and stills are so good I forget for just a little bit that I’m not in SW Florida; I’m suddenly visiting Scotland through your eyes. Thank you so much. Lynn
Amount of times I walked as a kid across that bridge and played in the streams below, Bringing some amazing memories back Ed, thankyou My great, great , probably great grandfather used to work in West Mill Flour Mcgregors, as I am, lived, grew and died here, Deans Village, used to live, sorry forgotten name of street, but lived just a stone throw away from where you are Ed, Wow, the memories 😂 Oh that hill, amount of times riding my bike down it, used to be, not sure if still there, a park close by ??
I've seen quite a few videos on the Dean Village but this was by far the most comprehensive one I've seen, great job and I look forward to following your adventures
Thank you Ed for another fascinating video. On my pilgrimage to Scotland (my Dad was born in Dundee) we spent too little time in Edinburgh. The Edinburgh Castle took priority. But how I wished we could have meandered through Dean Village. The architecture there as you showed us was intriguing. We stayed in the Brooks Boutique Hotel. A charming place indeed. And, as before on a video, I enjoyed being with you as you surrendered to a frosty glass of ale. Was that a pint or a quart? (doesn't really matter). Thank you for wonderful entertainment Ed!
Cheers John. I vaguely recall a very large glass of beer, so large that you almost need two hands to lift it! Must have been bigger than a pint. Maybe a litre.
I see you've changed the name of your channel. Good move. I reckon this is one of your best videos, the production elements are certainly getting better. I returned to Edinburgh in September and spent a day in Dean Village. I missed a few things which you have shown in this fine video. Keep up the good work!
you are my kind of traveller, only a little more wiser (and older LOL). Subscribed. Just returned from Edinburgh. Missed this little beauty. Next time, may be
I found this very interesting Eddy, I'm ashamed to say I haven't visited Dean Village, but I really will have to make an attempt after watching your video, even if its only to try and lift that beer glass. haha...I know what your saying about people being curious about visitors walking about...I have been approached in the past by a hotel owner, while taking a photo of the structure..I believe if it can seen by the eye, then you can photograph it...Keep them coming Eddy
Many thanks Dave. I know that when I had a website, a part of which was to promote cafes selling soup in various parts of Scotland, I would occasionally get strange reactions from owners who would storm out and demand to know why I was taking a photo of their premises. I suppose if I had explained things first it might have helped. It's a strange old world.
Ed Explores Scotland very interesting. I would just like to say that it is a dilemma when taking pictures or videos of private property. You know the saying, an English mans home is his castle, or Scottish in this case. Dave thinks it is OK to photograph anything that is in public view but that comes with a responsibility. Why do l say that you may ask. I own a boat. Last year by chance l came across a video someone had made where my boat and others are moored. The person was talking about the boats , mine in particular so l was not best pleased as it is in a quiet location. In May of this year my boat was broken into. Now l am not saying that this was because of that video as other boats have been broken into at other times and from evidence left behind it looked like an opportunist druggy. A local photography group come regularly to take pictures. If l see anyone taking a picture of my boat l say that is ok providing it is not put on a public site such as flicker or best photos or put on UA-cam. So how to deal with a historical building that has been converted into private homes ? Maybe not get too close and include surrounding buildings with just a passing remark about the conversion. Having said that l don’t think anyone who owns a cafe, pub or hotel or any other place where members of the public go should complain. This comment isn’t meant to criticise it is just my feelings on the matter after an experience that probably wasn’t connected to that video. Seasons greetings and all the best for 2020
Many thanks for your comment. When taking photos or video I always wonder. I am The Wonderer. And The Worrier. Even the footage of folk walking on Edinburgh's Princes Street caused me some angst, in more ways than one. Sometimes you've just got to go for it.

Thanks Lynn. Dean Village is a lovely old architectural gem.
Very enjoyable thanks
Just rented an Airbnb in Deans Village. I am even more excited for my weekend stay in Edinburgh. 🏴
Have a great time.
Thanks for sharing. Dean Village is beautiful. 😊
It certainly is. Easy to miss it when visiting the capital.
Amount of times I walked as a kid across that bridge and played in the streams below,
Bringing some amazing memories back Ed, thankyou
My great, great , probably great grandfather used to work in West Mill Flour
Mcgregors, as I am, lived, grew and died here, Deans Village, used to live, sorry forgotten name of street, but lived just a stone throw away from where you are Ed,
Wow, the memories 😂
Oh that hill, amount of times riding my bike down it, used to be, not sure if still there, a park close by ??
A very steep hill from the bridge down into the village.
@@EdExploresScotland brilliant for bike rides, well, coming down it, 🤣, not good going up that hill

Pippin:
What's that?
Merry:
This, my friend, is a pint.
Pippin:
It comes in pints?
Pippin:
I'm getting one.
Absolutely.
Hi, is this a good place to live?
I haven't got a scoobie. Sorry.
