Neighborhood: Stockbridge & Dean Village
Just downhill of New Town and attractively straddling a river near the elegant Royal Botanic Garden, it’s small wonder that Stockbridge became one of the city’s first hip neighborhoods. It’s now one of Edinburgh’s most desirable, though many bohemian touches have fallen away as its residents have matured and the area has gentrified. Some second-hand shops cling on, but mostly residents display refined tastes in basement bistros, gastropubs, coffee and antique shops, boutiques and delis and at the Sunday farmers' market. A pleasant ten-minute walk away, along a leafy riverside path beside the gurgling Water of Leith, lies Dean Village. This sleepy neighborhood of medieval half-timbered houses still retains much of the village feel it had when watermills plied their trade here. Beyond, the wooded riverside path feels even more remote as it climbs to the sculpture gardens of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.

Well Court was commissioned in the 1880s by Sir John Findlay.The building was originally intended to give accommodation for local workers in the Dean Village area.In 2007 Edinburgh World Heritage and the owners of the building funded a major restoration of Well Court.The place is picturesque. The buildings are amazingly beautiful. I appreciate the place as a place of it's own beauty and charm .Nice hidden place in the middle of Edinburgh.

There is a plaque for history buffs to read on the wall here about accommodation. Picturesque, unique, quiet. Nice hidden gem, so close to the centre.
