St Bernard’s Well has recently been gloriously refurbished as part of Edinburgh World Heritage’s Twelve Monuments project. It is reachable by the riverside path downriver from Dean Village or upriver from Stockbridge.
Our annual river clean-up day is later than usual this year. Meet on the road bridge in the middle of the village. Tools and equipment will be provided.
Come with volunteer guides from the Dean Village Association to discover the stories of one of Edinburgh’s historic and picturesque villages, nestled just off the West End. You’ll hear about its vital place in Edinburgh’s past, its millers, baxters, carters, distillers, architects, sculptors, newspaper proprietors — and more.
Tour lasts 1.5 to 2 hours.
Dean Cemetery became Edinburgh’s most fashionable garden cemetery in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Beneath its carefully-tended lawns lie many of the city’s finest of their day, and their stories encapsulate much of Edinburgh’s history — not just lawyers, doctors, merchants, politicians and university professors, but also engineers, scientists, explorers, artists, sculptors, writers and army officers and men. Volunteer guides from the Dean Village Association will recount some of these tales within the beautiful setting of a former mansion-house, surrounded by interesting plants and trees and some outstanding gravestones.
While tours are organised by the Dean Village Association, £1 from every ticket goes to the Dean Cemetery Trust, for ongoing upkeep and maintenance of the cemetery.
Tour lasts 1.5 to 2 hours.
