DEAN VILLAGE

Overlooked by Thomas Telford's famous Dean Bridge, this outer-city ‘village’ is something of a curiosity, with winding pathways and old-world buildings.






Along the Water of Leith is St Bernard's Well and a mock temple.

Nearby is the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the Dean Gallery.






The latter was opened in 1999 in a converted local hospital and contains world-class collections of modern art.
