Dean Village, Former mill village in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Dean Village sits along the Water of Leith, featuring stone buildings, cobblestone streets, and historic mills scattered throughout the residential neighborhood.

The village operated eleven water mills for over 800 years, processing grain from local farms until the industry declined in the twentieth century.

Well Court stands as the main architectural landmark in Dean Village, built in the 1880s to house workers who operated the water mills.

Visitors should note there are no restaurants or public facilities in Dean Village, requiring advance planning for meals and restroom needs.

Stone plaques depicting baked goods and mill stones remain visible throughout the village, marking the locations of former grain processing facilities.
