2A Dean Path (Former West Mill), Dean Village, Edinburgh

2A Dean Path, formerly known as West Mill, is a residential building located in Dean Village, Edinburgh, and dates back to 1805 and 1806. Originally a mill, it was converted into residential dwellings in 1973 by Philip Cocker and Partners. The structure consists of four and five storeys, made up of two offset rectangular-plan blocks that feature roundel windows. It is set into the riverbank, with basement storeys facing the Water of Leith on the south elevation. The exterior is constructed of coursed random rubble, with some droved ashlar quoins, cills, lintels, and rybats.

On the west elevation, which faces Dean Path, there are two three-bay gable ends, with the southern gable advanced and a single bay in the re-entrant angle. The fenestration is roughly regular, featuring roundel windows at the gable heads and additional roundel windows at the ground, first, and second floors of the south block. A decorative carved wheatsheaf roundel panel, dated 1805-1806, is located at the third floor.

The north elevation, facing West Mill Lane, has five storeys and six bays, with regular fenestration consisting of rectangular windows in plain surrounds. The south elevation, which faces the Water of Leith, also has five storeys and features twin sluice arched basements at the river. It has roughly six bays, with regular fenestration and blind roundels at the centre, along with later roof-lights.

The east elevation is similar to the west elevation but has a break-fronted gable to the right, with an advanced terminal bay at the far right. The fenestration is roughly regular. The building predominantly features plate glass pivoting windows, with some later roof-lights. It has a pitched roof covered in grey slates, with coped gablehead stacks and cast iron rainwater goods. The interior was converted into residential apartments in 1973.
