Step into a postcard-perfect pocket of Edinburgh. Just minutes from Princes Street, Dean Village feels a world away – riverside paths, 19th-century architecture, and endless textures to capture.
We’ll follow the Water of Leith to St Bernard’s Well and Stockbridge for a mix of nature, history, and urban charm.
Small groups (max 8) mean there’s time for individual guidance. You’ll leave with stronger photography skills — and a memory card full of Edinburgh’s best angles.
Start time: 2PM.
