Dean Village is a riverside community in the west of Edinburgh, roughly half a mile from the West End of Princes Street. It has a long history as a grain milling hamlet stretching back at least as far as the early 12th century. The increasing strength of the Leith flour mills in the 19th century led to a period of economic decline in the village, but it is now an affluent and desirable place to live. Despite its close proximity to the centre of Edinburgh, Dean Village retains a quiet atmosphere in keeping with its rural heritage.
Holy Trinity Church stands at the north end of the Dean Bridge in Edinburgh, overlooking Dean Village. The church was designed by John Henderson and built in 1837-38. The church served for a time as an electricity substation but now is once more used for religious worship.
