Edinburgh: Dean Village and New Town Walking Tour

In this tour we will:

Explore the New Town's open spaces, crescents, and iconic landmarks, such as Charlotte Square and the Scott Monument, which contrast with the medieval narrow streets of the Old Town.

• Learn about the Scottish Enlightenment that turned Edinburgh into the ‘Athens of the North’ and visit the Scottish National Gallery.
• Explore the streets walked by Scottish inventors, scientists, and writers including David Hume, Adam Smith, and Arthur Conan Doyle.
• Understand what life in a Georgian House was like with a visit to the National Trust's property in Charlotte Square. The Georgian House offers a glimpse into 18th-century domestic life and Edinburgh's Neoclassical architecture.
• Discuss the impact that colonialism had on the growth of the city.
• Discover the reason behind the establishment of secret bars in the New Town.
• Walk through the picturesque Dean Village, once a medieval industrial hub dotted by water mills, where bakers and weavers lived and worked.
