( Worth Seeing )
Thomas Telford's Dean Bridge spans the steep gorge of the Water of Leith, which marks the northern limit of the New Town. Lying 32m below the bridge is Dean Village, a quiet and historic enclave with attractive old houses and easy access to the river. In medieval times the Dean was Edinburgh's milling centre, with 11 mills operating. Several 19th-century mill buildings still survive, now converted into flats - look out for Well Court, originally built as housing for workers in 1884. Baxter's Tolbooth is a 17th-century granary. Across the river Dean Cemetery overlooks the village. This 19th-century graveyard contains some of Edinburgh's finest funerary monuments, the best of them designed by William Playfair, the New Town architect, who himself is buried here.
