Dean Village - Edinburgh's worst kept secret?

- Dean Village; in a hidden valley, in the heart of Edinburgh's new town. Once Edinburgh's best kept secret and a calming oasis in the middle of the city.
How did it survive and remain unspoiled through the centuries?
Dean Village is one of Edinburgh's most photographed locations. It's a must-see for anyone travelling to Edinburgh, popular on Facebook, instagram and tiktok, but it was once in a state of decay. This is the story of Dean Village's past and its rebirth in recent times.
Follow my adventures as I travel through the landscapes and history of Scotland. I make quick, quirky and (hopefully) funny content about Scotland's past, people and scenery.
I look for the hidden stories, forgotten people and beautiful scenery of Scotland and try to find the funny in the darkness, obscurity and occasional absurdity of our history.

How did I not even know this exists!? This is definitely on my list of things I can do in Edinburgh to avoid going to see you! :)
Seems to be quite a well kept secret after all… there are no coffee shops there though… (I did see a cart) 😂😎
Nice Graeme, a fine example of brotherly love! K.
Oh Graeme 😂😂😂
Now, now Graeme, be nice😁
@@scotlandunplugged Is there a wheelie case curfew? Perhaps Airbnb type short lets activity is all you hear in this very quiet beautiful neuk.?
great video, love the history and stories of Scotland, what a beautiful country
Thank you! 🙃
I love small towns and villages! There seems to be so much more history than big cities.
The number of times that I’ve been to Edinburgh and I never knew of this place! It’s beautiful!
Next time ask someone Graham, as it is hard to find.
@@duncancallum I definitely will! thank you!
It's really worth a visit. I lived in Edinburgh for many years.
You and your brother show the beauty of Scotland. If I had the money, I would be on my way there.
Lol, it's nice to take a break from darkness and gore every once in a while! 😅 Gorgeous oasis of green foliage and running water in the city - the waterway reminds me of Rock Creek Park that's in the Washington DC Metro area.
Another fun exploration - thanks!
Thank you! 🙂
Dean Village has a beautiful and very interesting cemetery, for those who like that sort of thing.
Very pretty village. Scotland is on my bucket list. Lots to explore it seems!
A beautiful little hamlet with some rich history, then build a bridge and it's open to the world. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of Scotland. 🙂❤️
Thank you for watching! 🙂
So many places with wealth of history. I really enjoy listening to you telling these stories.
Thank you! 🙂
What a beautiful place. So calm and peaceful looking. A place where people can get lost in its beauty and their thoughts. ❤
Absolutely 🙂
Beautiful scenery. It looks like a wonderful place to live.
It does indeed 🙂
It's gorgeous gorgeous place to live. Enjoying this video of my city.
I love old bridges ❤ and that view doesn’t suck. I enjoyed seeing you on HGP not sure why I I like watching hoof trimming. Always love seeing Scotland. Thanks for the great history ❤
My wife and I try to take a selfie in an old bridge wherever we go (weird tradition we have). 🙂 Thank you!
What a treasure! Love your stories! Just another place to put on my list to see if I ever get over there. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Well worth a visit. Thank you 🙂
Another great video! Beautiful scenery with wonderful history. Loved it!! ❤️
Thank you! 🙂

Thank you for watching 🙂
Loved the story almost as much as i loved the view. Keep 'em coming Robert, please!

Beautiful breath taking
What a beautiful place wouldn't have known it was there looks a great visit
Well worth a wander around 🙂
A interesting video Robbie,thank you for the information about the village
Thanks, Cameron 🙂
It is beautiful! I wish I could live there. Thank you for the upload.
Thank you for watching 🙂
The remains from the neolithic point to your "gory|" story, lol! In such a beautiful oasis, no less! Often we don't see what's most beautiful when it's right before our eyes. Glad you ran through there eyes wide open. And for sharing this online!
Bits of it reminded me of Boulder Creek, in Boulder, CO.
Good one! Really beautiful place and your quest for the darkness was hilarious! Thanks for this!
Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant. This has blown me away. Wow. I didn't know anything about this place. Production and footage is very professional. Thank you very much
Stunning indeed.
Thank you for taking us there! x
Thank you. Looking forward to future gore. 😀
I only just come across your vids via your bro HoofGp.. thanks to him I'm binge watching your videos.
Love the way you show and explain all sorts of things, around Scotland.
Can't go back to visit easily now with my husby (stuck in wheelchair with full care needs). I could go, but would be difficult managing for me.
ohwell. one day..
Thanks for taking us with.
So so beautiful. You make history a joy to learn. Blessings to you.
Thank you!
Beautiful and informative as always! Thanks for the great videos!
E being able to learn about Scotland. I hope to visit one day.
I’m biased but we’ll worth the trip 😂
Simply stunning!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful wee beauty👍🏆
Thank you for watching 🙂
Oh, so long since I was there! Thank you for this visit.
Ok I have got to see this. How beautiful.
Thanks for sharing this. Would love to visit sometime 😃😃
Definitely worth the trip (speaking as someone from outside the city) 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous,wow!!😍
What an amazing looking place.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Love the videos!
It is! 🙂 Thank you 🙂
Certainly a great place to visit - well done.
Fantastic!
Beautiful view of something special!! Yet, where did 76 mills get their grain from?? Are there literally thousands of hectares of wheat farms around Edinburough? Would love to know!
I'm sure I can't have been the only person from Edinburgh or surrounding areas who hadn't even heard or seen this place until instagram lol, only saw it a few years back, was quite the revelation to find out it is a short walk from Princess street, haven't visited but one day!
Nice vid ser
Your not I was raised in the Royal mile many years ago thought I knew Edinburgh never saw Dean Village. I wish I had. The one major thing I love about this is how it as been protected. Long May this be.
Lovely place. This is where my 2nd great grandfather James Porteous was christened as a baby. 😊
Amazing! Thanks for sharing your time! KANSAS USA
Nice to see there are some truly peaceful places. Though work at the mills would have been hard. I wish I had known about this when I was in Edinburgh years ago.
Excellent video young man! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! 🙂
❤beautiful views and fabulous history love the teasers that are “ admittedly not true only in books” So fun you put fun things in there like that ❤
Great job my friend
Thank you!
Beautiful place- no gore needed!
Didn’t even know it was there! Next visit, I’ll make sure to go see it. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you! 🙂
Wow,what a stunning place,got to do a painting of this landscape.
Lovely as always. Mostly commenting to help the channel ❤
Thank you! 🙂
and here we are, now I have another reason to go back to Edinburgh (the first time I didn't visit Dean Village)
Haha. Any excuse is good!
Wish i had explored it last year, but will next time.
Definitely worth a look 🙂
If I make my eyes go a wee bit squinty, it's like I'm getting a Scottish history lesson from Obi-Wan Kenobi. Love the channel!
It's lovely, I'd be happy to live there. Like to see it in winter 🥶
Slippy cobble stones 😅
Wish I had known about this place the last time I was there.
Will definitely go there next time.
Thank you.
Well worth a visit 🙂
YES ❣️
I visited Edinburgh in the 90s and had no idea it was there. I definitely need to come back and explore there.
Well worth a wander about 🙂
Looks like it would be a nice place to live.
I’m told to tell you The Hoof GP sent me! 😂
Hoof GP (guess he's your younger bro) is still cranking much more addictive content! But yours is still great! 👍🏼
It's hard to beat the allure of spurting puss. Perhaps you could stage a simulated lancing of an abscessed rock wall for your thumbnails.
Well... that's rude.
Haha. I’d have a hard time competing with those hooves 😂
I used to commute and pass through Dean village before Instagram and TikTok. You can’t go through it anymore without university students duck-face pouting, arm on their hip and waist contorted to the side with a tripod. I also had a near death experience at the Gormley lake behind the gallery. That area is marginally quieter… and more spiritual for me.
It’s definitely busier!
One of these days the locals will have had enough of the Tik-Tokkers and Instagrammers and will fence the place off. Or charge an admittance fee.
Darn it--no satanic mills 😪 Oh well. I settle for the beautiful scenery. Excellent video!
Thank you! 🙂
I suppose the working conditions in those 19th century mills were bad enough without anything satanic going on.
❤
It’s a lovely little village.
You might have had better luck finding the darkness if you’d gone there at night.
😂
Im from Edinburgh. Had to move away. Too bloody expensive now which is a shame
Yeah, it seems to get pricier every year 😳
I've seen paranormal shows in the theater and some meal rooms
Dean Village is pretty but tiny, so you might be disappointed by the extent. It's blink and you miss it.
The Hoof GP sent me ...
Great story... but no explanation of the statue with his willy out for all to see? 😂😂😂
Haha. There are two of them at either end of the Dene… I’m but actually sure what they’re all about 😂
Beautiful area these days. What's wrong with lead poisioning. I figure that's ALL the US Navy missed poisoning me with.
😂
I could live there, no problem.
So could I 🙂
@@scotlandunplugged Ha!
Edinburgh ❤ where my clan hails ❤
I know what was wrong with it, religion 😂. On my bucket list now though ❤
Church attendance was mandatory... yup.
Very Scottish indeed...
😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Pineapple?
By the way: on top of the pavilion that is no way a pineapple 😂 It’s an ornamental cone
😂
The dark satanic mills 😂
😂
Pineapples are New World, darling...
Thanks for editing the graffiti. Hate that stuff.
This is not a secret. It's not a worst-kept secret, it's not a secret at all.
Not enough gore... 😢
🙃😂
😂
Well, if you jump of that 30m high bridge that will provide us with a dose of gore.
I was in Edinburgh back in 1978 , I was in the US Navy we all had blast for this Port of Call
It’s definitely a party town 🙂
Yes we were partying with some of y’all’s Marines for a couple of nights
Its lucky that village is in Scotland. Around here, they would have torn it down for modern development...😠
More gore... another William Wallace installment then?
Working on it now 😂
Too much face-time. Not enough content... which is really what tourists are seeking for information.
I live in edinburgh and didn’t know about this lmao
❤
