This tour takes you to the local spots in Dean Village, Stockbridge and Edinburgh New Town, well away from the crowds, especially in the summer months when Edinburgh Old Town can get crowded.

Many Scottish people never visit these places which are all real gems you shouldn't miss if you want to explore all the places that make Edinburgh great and visit the lesser known local spots that most tourists will never know about.

2

Dean Village

This has to be our favourite place in Edinburgh and we think it will be yours too. A milling village from the 1600's that makes you feel like you have went back in time. The old mill, schools etc are now all residences nearby the Water of Leith, it really does feel like you are in a village and not in the city centre.

    David is an amazing guide. Knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and off the beaten path sites to see in Edinburgh New Town. Beautiful walk along the river Leith.

    Will was an outstanding tour guide. Loved seeing the other side of Edinburgh and hidden gems. Great mix of history, storytelling and visited places I had never been before in Edinburgh.
