Original artwork description:

The Dean Village is a tranquil green oasis on the Water of Leith, only five minutes walk from Princes Street, Edinburgh.

In the past the village housed mills of various kinds, and the remnants of the industry can still be seen today. Look out for mill stones and carved stone plaques with baked bread and pies. Follow the walkway along the Water of Leith and you will come to the impressive Dean Bridge designed by Thomas Telford, and the classical temple of St Bernard’s Well.
