Please note that this tour passes the Dean Cemetery that has opening hours of 9-5pm, and daylight hours in winter. The cemetery does not allow dogs.
With an architectural designer as your narrator, you will chart the fate of the area from industrious prosperity to complete disrepute, before it became the most desirable residential district in Edinburgh.
The tour will take you around the old milling village that still contains traces of its Baronial legacy. You’ll see the Dean Bridge, the tollbooth, the mill and the weir, which were all formerly controlled by the Incorporation of Baxters (bakers).
The narrator will also show you the easy-to-miss details on buildings, and share old maps and drawings as you walk the lush green banks of the Water of Leith.
Along the way, you'll discover:
Each participant will need a smartphone and earphones. The tour is downloadable on a free app VoiceMap - you will need to install this app to play the tour. You will receive detailed instructions after the purchase.
