Dean Village


Handsome buildings and a relaxing riverside walk
Queensferry Street
(Bells Brae, Water of Leith)
Edinburgh EH2 4PF
United Kingdom
Dean village has a "lost in time" feel about it. It is tucked away in a dip below the surrounding city areas and borders the Water of Leith. The settlement dates from the 12th century and developed around the industry of grain-milling over a period of 800 years. Today, its tranquillity and beautiful architecture, including some wonderfully converted warehouses, makes it a very desirable place to live. Take a charming walk along the Water of Leith, starting at the east and finishing at the west end of the path. Walk along towards the imposing arches of Dean Bridge and then head to the National Gallery of Modern Art.

Institut Francais D'Ecosse


French exhibitions
13 Randolph Crescent
Edinburgh EH3 7TT
United Kingdom
+44 131 225 5366
http://www.ifecosse.org.uk/
Located in the Georgian New Town, the French Institute often hosts exhibitions with a French theme in its attractive interior - a light-filled space with high ceilings. It is also a Fringe Festival theatre venue, so you can catch the odd show here in the summer months. Past shows have covered everything from French comics to portraits of French luminaries and poster-art. Furthermore, you can listen to an eclectic programme of music including early French music, opera, piano and organ recitals. The excellent cafe`/restaurant La Cuisine d'Odile is worth a visit for its great value menu.

Murrayfield


History, Sport and A Few Animals...
Edinburgh EH12 5JE
United Kingdom
+44 (0)131 473 3800 (Tourist Information)
Murrayfield is one of the popular places to visit while in Edinburgh. Edinburugh Castle, Scotland's top attraction as well as the enigmatic Edinburgh Zoo are all located in this area. The zoo has its own fun routine, and thousands of people visit each year to witness the daily walks of the resident penguins. If you're more of a sports fan, then make your way down to Murrayfield Stadium, Scotland's national rugby stadium and be sure to catch a game.
