A slice of everyday Stockbridge life at the corner of Deanhaugh Street and Dean Terrace — three people taking a break on the steps, while three very different independent businesses occupy the building around them.
At No. 4 is BLANK. Barbershop, a contemporary barbershop whose large corner windows open directly onto the street.
Downstairs at No. 2 is radiCibus, an intimate Italian restaurant opened in 2017 by Mara Allevi and Giovanni Petitto. Its cooking draws particularly on the traditions of Le Marche in central-eastern Italy, combining them with Scottish produce and local suppliers.
And at No. 8 is the Tommy Fitchet Studio & Gallery. Fitchet is an Edinburgh-based contemporary landscape artist working across oils, acrylics and inks, with the Scottish landscape and its changing light central to his work. Appropriately, the painting visible through the gallery window belongs to his 2026 Coastline collection, inspired particularly by Scotland’s islands, coastlines and shifting horizons.
Barber, Italian restaurant and artist’s studio — all within a few steps of one another, while life carries on outside. A small snapshot of the independent businesses and street life that give Stockbridge much of its character.
