Enjoyed your video. I was actually there on Wednesday! Got some great pics too. We started from Roseburn up the other end of the walk. Visiting from Canada.
Bet you got some great pics. Hope you had a great visit.
Something you have mentioned more than once on your videos is how Edinburgh is smaller than one might think, and walking to different locations doesn't take as long as one might think. This video is the best example. I am visiting Edinburgh in May 2024 and this walk to Dean Village is now on my list. In fact, watching your videos has given me a better perspective on what I want to see while in Edinburgh - thank you!
Dean Village looks beautiful, so picturesque! I love the fact that you share all your knowledge about Edinburgh and Scotland but still find places you haven't explored yet too!
Glad you enjoyed it
Dean Village has become one of my favourite walks in Edinburgh since I discovered it's existence a few years back. I am from Fife but spend as much time in Edinburgh as possible, my favourite place in the world and my absolute happy place, always feel at home in Edinburgh, especially Old Town!!!
Love the accent and Dean Village ✅😊
Must go on a wee wonder the next time we're there.
My daughter and I will be up to Edinburgh in late May 22 for a weekend. Except for the usual tourist sights we would not have been aware of Dean Village, looks the part back pack and lunch. Well done, started looking at your other vids.
My wife and I will go there next time back from Australia ,old jimmy
I really appreciate you. Thankyou. These raw videos are more informative than a tourist guide script.
I'm an Edinburgh guy now living in France and your videos have been a great watch here tonight. Dean Village was my playground when I was a kid and it's still my most favourite part of Edinburgh. Everyone who visits needs to see it, especially Well Court right in the middle of the village. Brought back great memories, cheers!
Glad we can bring back some good memories.
I really love your little walking around tours, and the you admit that you never have been there. I nice to hear a youtuber like you, are not pretending you be cooler or not you self. You are who you are and that's really lovely.
Thank you so much.
I feel really nostalgic so I decided to watch your video, also figured I see what's the right way to get to Dean Village, turned out you walked the same wrong path I did, although not a bad path to go at all. It was nothing short of amazing! Thanks for the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My fav part of the city, simply stunning
The house that is under the bridge is a old guard house and dean village & stocksbridge are 2 of my favorite places in auld reekie
That building was where I worked in a wee engineering firm in the late 80's. It was called 'Oxylitre' then and made medical equipment. Brilliant to see it again.
We visited last week and had the best vacation ever. We could have easily stayed another week because there’s so much to see and all the people were so nice. Stayed near the worlds end and had a scotch and haggis pie. Yummmy
You truly do live in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. It was nice that it didn’t rain all week but I bet y’all are hoping to get some soon. Great place to visit.
nice place used to go there when I was younger
Spectacular walk about video of bonnie Dean Village, Mate. Such a quaint wee village within the confines of the grand city of Edinburgh.
I loved it; when you said; " oh, there's trees in the way".
You live in a beautiful place. Thanks so much for sharing.
It has its little magical spots.
So beautiful💕🧚
I was in Edinburgh last weekend and because of your videos we followed your route through Dean Village and then onto Stockbridge. Thank you for introducing us to this part of Edinburgh. We loved it!
Cool. Hope you had a great time.
Once again, your videos are a wonderful source to help us plan on vacation in June. My maiden sir name is Dean, so I loved seeing Dean Village and we JUST booked a B&B there for our last two days before we head home.
Glad we could help. Hope you have an amazing trip.
I remember u sentencing me in the dungeons i was accused of witchcraft and chose to b drowned in the nor loch instead of banishment to Wales lol my partner was the cross dresser. Love ur videos
My hotel will be close to this area. Will be so happy to wander here, and take some beautiful photos!
Hope you have a great trip.
Absolutely beautiful! Another awesome video, I can't wait to see it in person. I think I have planned everything I am going to do by watching you. Thank you!!!!
Thank you. I hope our advice does not disappoint. Have a great visit.
It´s a very nice place!!. Beautifull!!. Great video.
Your videos are the absolute highlight of my weekend!
We went to dungeons 2009 I think. Anyway love ur videos. Edinburgh is a beautiful city. I’m from Linlithgow. U could do a video there 😀
Oh, now I have to go to Dean village when I visit in September. Thanks again for giving us tips for things to see and do around Edinburgh!
Greetings from Norway!
Bloodred12345 you are very welcome. And hello Norway.👍
be in edinburgh soon looking forward to going to Dean Village for first time any pubs near by to go for a meal after a walk
My girlfriend and I are going to Edinburgh next week. You just put Dean Village on the must see list
Its a lovely spot.
Glad you mentioned Dean Village is near the Castle and in walking distance, good to know. In all the pictures I've seen of the village I didn't know there were waterfalls to view, love waterfalls! Adding to our list of must see's. Looking forward to next week's video!
Glad to help. Hope you have a great visit.👍🏴
We walked from the modern art museums to powderhalll via stockbridge last week. Lovely walk. St Bernard’s well is there too. Good video guys!
Your video is amazing! Do you think that is possible to visit Dean Village in a wheelchair? I saw some bridges with stairs...Thank you!
Loved your video. Am looking forward to taking beautiful pictures! Just amazing'! What is the best way to get to Dean Village?
Its is really easy walking distance north from the west end of princes street.
I now know where I should live
Very nice. I thought for a bit it looked like part of a park or something. Nice little walking trail though. I think for anyone living by water, gets used to the sound so they probably don't hear it after a while. My cabin is by water and the sound of the waves is quite soothing. Lulls me to sleep but for some reason I'm up half a dozen times throughout the night to wee lol.
lol. That makes sense.
How far from Bus/train station ?
Dean Village, the Water of Leith walkway and Saint Bernard’s Well were on my list when I was there last week. Three days in Edinburgh was definitely not enough. I still have a leftover list for the next time we visit. My friend used to live in Edinburgh and said she didn’t even know that Village was there until maybe a few months ago. It’s a beautiful quiet little area, it looks like. That little house that you pointed out, the corner piece, is beautiful. As is even just the stone wall along the roadway. Very nice.
Would you possibly consider meandering down Carlton Mews? It was very close to our hotel and I hadn’t realized it at the time. I saw part of it featured in the TV program Case Histories and looked into a little bit of the unique design of the living spaces. There’s some interesting history there.
I’ve also read that the café at the museum is very good, for anyone meandering in that area.
I shall check it out.
Do u like or have u done cramond ?
Still to do a video there. But will eventually.
Someone who doesn’t really know much about what he is talking about. Waters of Leith!,!! Water of Leith, no plural. There were mills but for many functions not just milling. Tanning was particularly important here using the water not just as a power source but to wash the skins thus causing great pollution until they all eventually went out of business. There are no waterfalls, just weirs. To get there , and it is very much worth a visit, walk down Bell’s Brae just before the bridge. You should add to your walk going up the path to the Gallery of Modern Art. Free access and a cafe. Enjoy!
Sorry, did know it was the water of leith. Just a slip of the tongue. Thanks for the info. Love learning more things about Edinburgh it’s surroundings. I am by no means an expert on Edinburgh just enjoy learning and sharing.
Aw leave him alone, his vlogs are great. You cud have corrected him without being so rude.
All we are seeing is your head...
Filmed this a while ago. I don’t do that as much anymore.
