    I've been living in Edinburgh for a few months now and I'm amazed by how many beautiful places I discover that I haven't heard of before. Yesterday I ventured up Queensferry Road starting from the west end of Princes Street and arrived at Dean Bridge and thought wow, a deep gorge in the middle of the city?? I couldn't see much from the bridge itself because the view is obstructed by the compact wall, but I could tell that's a good spot for photography. I looked the place up on Google Maps and found out there is a village, as well! It looks like a perfect place to spend an afternoon. I can only imagine how amazing it must be at dusk or when the street lighting is on.

    I used to commute and pass through Dean village before Instagram and TikTok. You can’t go through it anymore without university students duck-face pouting, arm on their hip and waist contorted to the side with a tripod. I also had a near death experience at the Gormley lake behind the gallery. That area is marginally quieter… and more spiritual for me.

    In May 2002, Louise Tiffney was murdered at her home in the Dean Village area of Edinburgh. Her son Sean Flynn was suspected of having killed her but her body wasn't found until 2017 buried in the grounds of Gosford House in East Lothian. Sean was due to be retried after a previous acquittal but in 2021 he was found dead in Spain. He was believed to have taken his own life. That's certainly a dark tale.
