Well Court was commissioned in the 1880s by Sir John Findlay.The building was originally intended to give accommodation for local workers in the Dean Village area.In 2007 Edinburgh World Heritage and the owners of the building funded a major restoration of Well Court.The place is picturesque. The buildings are amazingly beautiful. I appreciate the place as a place of it's own beauty and charm .Nice hidden place in the middle of Edinburgh.

enjoyed a leisurely stroll with friends who were visiting from the south west. it was a lovely day which helps. Free to enter, really well maintained, lots to look at , easy access, coffee at east gate, food in the restaurant across the gardens which offers a visitor centre and shop that sells plants (which are probably superb but a little pricey!)

Dean Village - is a quiet village located on the banks of the Leith river, in Edinburgh, founded in the 12th century by the friars of the Abbey of Holyrood. When the inhabitants of Edinburgh realized that this quiet area near the city had great potential, rehabilitation work began which transformed it into one of the most requested residential areas of the city. But before, the area worsened to the point of becoming, around 1960 s , a poor and decadent place. Dean Village is very special and romantic place. It is pleasant to take a relaxing walking through Dean Village, just 15-20 minutes from the city center. The bridge over the river and the charming stone houses dating back to the 17th century create an extraordinary and fabulous atmosphere, surrounded by interesting places such as the Water of Leith, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art or the Dean Cemetery. So, take your time, and slowly, walk through and enjoy the mood of this special place, listening to the voices of the history, art and nature .

350 year old house and gallery space, free entry and nice informative staff. The house is very near to the John Hope Gateway entrance with a cute cafe next door.

Dean cemetery is in a beautiful location near Dean village but is a bit of a hike uphill. This is a huge cemetery with lots of influential, important, interesting people like Elsie ingles, John Bellamy, Henry Cockburn, Agnes Henderson Brown, people involved with Queen Victoria, people involved with William Burke are all buried here and many more. It is worth doing a bit of research beforehand to find out exactly who is buried here and seeking them out. I wish there was a map or something as a guide, I visited at least 5 times, in search of specific memorials and still haven't found them all but there are beautiful interesting monuments but it's the ones that don't necessarily stand out that are worth seeking. There are no toilets that I could see in or around Dean cemetery so I was always on a mad dash to Princess street to find a loo, sometimes having to cut my visit short which was frustrating. But if your into historical graveyards, this is a must see.
