Stockbridge | The Scottish Pearl

When in Edinburgh, how often do you stroll in Dean Village?

It’s my quick escape; well that and walking along the Water of Leith Walkway. I always enjoy walking along the river, especially from Stockbridge to the Village. It is so therapeutic.

When you enter the Walkway from Stockbridge, there is a lovely seating area. I can never turn down its invitation to sit and take in the sounds of the river. It is my coffee break stop.

The path continues to Dean Bridge. Regardless of the month or season, it is always green.

As you approach the old mill, you come across a series of brooks.

The path gradually changes to cobblestones, a sure indication that you are approaching the village.

Entering the village you are graced with classic views that never get old.

Such a beautiful spot in the city centre.

There are many popular, photogenic spots in Stockbridge, Edinburgh. It is a favourite spot for photographers. However, now when I think about it, I rarely see photos of the Stockbridge Pharmacy building.
