Deanhaugh Street is situated at the heart of the district of Stockbridge in Edinburgh. It connects Stock Bridge itself with Raeburn Place, a short distance to the north-west. The street takes its name from one of the two estates in the area owned by Sir Henry Raeburn and feued by him for development in the 19th century.
Originally a separate village, Stockbridge is now a largely residential area situated a mile north of Edinburgh Castle. The village developed substantially between about 1813, when the famous painter Sir Henry Raeburn began to feu his land in the area for development, and about 1850. Much of this development was conducted by the architect James Milne. With its proximity to the Water of Leith and its interesting and diverse architecture, Stockbridge is considered an attractive and popular place to live, shop and socialise.
