A village within the city just north of the centre — independent shops, a Sunday market, and the leafy Water of Leith walk down to Dean Village. Where locals actually live: quiet, characterful, and a 15-minute stroll to Princes Street.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 7.Dean Village & the Water of Leith — A pocket of Tudor-looking millers' cottages on a river gorge, minutes from the centre yet another world — follow the wooded Water of Leith walkway from here up to Stockbridge or down to the galleries. The city's prettiest, quietest corner.
- 14.Stockbridge & its market — The city's nicest village neighbourhood — independent delis, charity shops worth a rummage, and a small, excellent Sunday street-food and craft market by the river. A gentle, local morning away from the sights.
