Part of “Previously…”, Scotland’s History Festival. See the festival’s web page for the full programme of 2012 events.

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, and its vital place in Edinburgh’s past. You’ll hear about millers, baxters, carters, distillers, architects, sculptors, newspaper proprietors – and more.

Tour lasts 1.5 to 2 hours.
