The name Dean (Dene) meaning Deep Gorge. The village has steep hills on all sides. The Dean Village with the Water of Leith flowing through, grew as a community in the 1100s from the many mills that were built on the river banks.

The Incorporation of Baxters (bakers) was a crucial role in Dean Village, controlling the grain milling industry from the 12th century. Mills were first mentioned in 1143 by David I.

The Manse: “ It was a place in that time like no other: the garden cut into provinces by a great hedge of beech, and overlooked by the church and the terrace of the churchyard, where the tombstones were thick, and after nightfall “spunkies” might be seen to dance, at least by children;” “Memories and Portraits” Robert Louis Stevenson. Visit the swing café in the churchyard to see the old yew tree that held the swing believed to have inspired RLS to write his poem The Swing. A walk with Robert Louis Stevenson Looking – glass River Smooth it slides upon its travel, Here a wimple, there a gleam – O the clean gravel! O the smooth stream! Sailing blossoms, silverfishes, Paven pools as clear as air – How a child wishes To live down there! We can see our coloured faces Floating on the shaken pool Down in cool places, Dim and very cool; Till a wind or water wrinkle, Dipping marten, plumbing trout, Spreads in a twinkle And blots all out. See the rings purse each other; All below grows black as night, Just as if mother Had blown out the light! Patience, children, just a minute – See the spreading circles die; The stream and all in it Will clear by and by.
