about

Dean Village, a picture postcard of serene, just 5 mins walk from Edinburgh's Princes Street.
Situated right by the Water of Leith, it really is a portal to the 1880s.
It's not all an oasis of calm when Scunner show up however, it's more like a shortbread tin scene gone rogue.

lyrics

A Dean Village Christmas

Everybody knows come December
Everywhere's heaving
I need some freedom
Not many people know come December
there's always some peaceful near

Head off to your own picture postcard
A hidden hamlet
where snow is falling
I speak of the magic Dean Village
We'll time travel there this year

Santa we love you
but we've all moved on
All the chimneys gone
Santa we love you,
but you're not who they need you to be

Everybody needs tranquil refuge
Water of Leith zen
the cobbled streets then
Everybody just needs a breather
At this wonderful time of year

Santa we love you
but we've all moved on
All the chimneys gone
Santa we love you,
but you're not who they need you to be

Next then, the well of St Bernard
1760, 'taking the Waters'
Now guarded by the goddess Hygeia
here there's quiet this time of year

All is bright and calm
Snow so glistening white
