Three Edinburgh Hidden Gems

Edinburgh is by far the most visited city in Scotland, indeed one of the most visited cities in the UK, yet most visitors rarely venture beyond the Old Town. Although that part of the city is beautiful and historic, only seeing that small segment means missing out on a unique variety that only Edinburgh can offer. There are any number of places to go, all with their own character and virtues, but I’m going to suggest just three. Both to keep it simple and to encourage a little more adventure for those with the time and inclination. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*ghVBaBSiKMS70WnCobUm2g.jpeg" style="height:469px; width:700px" /> Dean Village <h1>Dean Village:</h1> Sitting in a steep valley that runs straight through the northern reaches of the city centre New Town, the Water of Leith runs eastwards towards Leith Shore and the Firth of Forth. Nestled on the banks of this shallow but rapid river is the ancient site of Dean Village. <a href="https://farewellalarms.com/three-edinburgh-hidden-gems-9cbb3098404c">Website</a>
