Dean Village at the Water of Leith mentioned by King David I in 1143. Dean Village Edinburgh Dean Village Dean Village was a small village outside Edinburgh known as Water o Leith Village, and was famous as a grain milling area for over 800 years. 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. You will see many stones carved with crossed paddles of the bakers, as this area supplied all the bakers of Edinburgh with their flour. 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. Dean Bridge - Kirkbrae House The house on the corner of the bridge was once a Tavern and Bakers, the square panel on the wall shows a sun with two arms below, one holding scales and the other a wheat sheaf, with two baker’s paddles crossed. The inscription below reads: IN THE SWEAT OF THY FACE SHALT | THOU EAT BREAD | GEN 3 VERSE 19 | ANNO DOM 1619 Known as ‘The Baxter’s Stone. Put on this wall in 1893 from a demolished mill. The Dean Bridge The Dean Bridge was designed by Thomas Telford, and was completed in 1832 and opened in 1833. The Dean Bridge was Thomas Telford’s last project at the age 73 and retirement. The Dean Bridge with 4 arches is 447 feet long (136m) and 39 feet wide (12m) and built on four arches rising 106 feet (32m) above the river. Prior to the building of the Dean Bridge the only way across the river in to Edinburgh was by a ford in the river, which had been crossed since medieval times (5th to 15th centuries). A bridge, of wooden structure across the water of Leith was built in the 5th century. It is now a stone bridge (Bell’s Brae Bridge). The building of Dean Bridge gave access to the north for further extension of Edinburgh’s New Town. Views from the Dean Bridge Looking over the Dean Bridge West the Dean Village, East the New Town Randolph Cliff built on series of underground stone arches. The arches protect Randolph Cliff, Randolph Crescent, Great Stuart Street, Ainslie Place, and Moray Place from tumbling down into the Water of Leith. Designed by 1822 by, architect James Gillespie Graham for Francis Stuart, the 10th Earl of Moray on the Moray Estate which covers most of the western new town.

Belgrave and Buckingham Area Belgrave Crescent was built on land bought by property developer and Lord Provost of Edinburgh James Steel, Designed by John Chesser and completed in 1874. The land between Water of Leith and the new houses also purchased by Steel, which became private gardens for the residents. The gardens designed by James Jeffery and completed in 1876.

Dean Cemetery Edinburgh The Dean Village is named from Dean House and the Nisbet family who owned the lands. The House was demolished in 1843 and in 1845 the Dean Cemetery was created.

At the top of the building you can see a wheat sheaf. The mill is one of few surviving examples in the Dean Village of its former industrial heritage. Particularly based on grain milling, many of which utilised power provided by the Water of Leith.

King George III celebrated his Golden Jubilee on October 25, 1809, marking the beginning of his 50th year on the throne. It was the first significant jubilee celebration in British history. The well was finally blocked up in 1969. St Bernard's Well A natural mineral spring was discovered on the Water of Leith near to Stockbridge in 1760, some claimed that the water could cure everything. Francis Garden, Lord Gardenstone of Troup the landowner, commissioned a building in 1789 to be erected over the well Alexander Nasmyth designed a Doric Temple, a copy of the Temple to the Sybil at Tivoli, the summer palace of the Roman emperors. The Temple has a domed ceiling supported by 10 columns which covers the statue of Hygeia, the Greek goddess of health The Well closed in 1940. There are two mineral wells on the Water of Leith one called St Bernard's Well and the other well a short distance west and this is called St George’s Well.

Athelstaneford Attractions East Lothian Athelstaneford Birthplace of the Scottish Flag Athelstaneford is a small hamlet in East Lothian, with a church and a few houses and a big history. Known as Athelstoneford as on Adair’s map 1650 -1722. The Scottish flag (Saltire) a white cross on a blue background is thought to be the oldest national flag in Europe and the Commonwealth. It was during a battle in 834 AD, King Angus believes that when seeing a cloud formation of a white saltire in the sky (which was the diagonal cross that St Andrew had been crucified on) was a sign from the saints, he proclaimed if the saints help them defeat the enemy he would make St Andrew patron saint of Scotland. On victory, he made the Saltire the flag of Scotland in addition to St Andrew becoming the patron Saint of Scotland. Scottish Flag Heritage Centre Athelstaneford East Lothian The doocot, in the Athelstaneford Church grounds houses a visitor centre, visitors can see a short audio-visual dramatization of the Battle in 834 AD prior to when the St Andrew’s Cross first appeared in the sky. The Doocot was original built 1583 by George Hepburn. A landowner of the area. Doocots were near to large house or Castles and are seen all over Scotland as they were means of getting fresh meat to the table only taking the young pigeons as they are the most tender. The Scottish Saltire Athelstaneford East Lothian The story of the Scottish Saltire starts in East Lothian with a white cross in the sky. When the St Andrew's Cross was written about circa 1380 the scots were going into battle against the English and were all to wear the white cross on a dark top. However, it was 1385 before we see any mention of the symbol to be committed to cloth. A Parliament decree that year, as Scots prepared to raid England stated that every man would bear St Andrew's cross but set against black cloth. Later in the century this symbol began to appear on coins. However blue was still not a feature. Indeed the Douglas standard carried into the Battle of Otterburn (1388) had a green background and also contained the lion as a predominant symbol. It might have been 1460 before the white Saltire against a blue background first appeared in the standard of the Edinburgh Incorporated Trades although the Saltire cross was not the predominant symbol and was vertical and on one side of the banner.
