About this memory

1963 – From an 1883 Painting by G. Bryder.

My Grandfather was a gifted artist.

The view is similar to Robert Diaz’s 1888 Painting.

The painting depicts the Water of Leith Village now known as the Dean Village from the Bell’s Brae, the road to the left is named Damside where our families Tannery was located and the road in the centre is Dean Path which leads you north to the Queensferry Road.
