Edinburgh - Riddle's Court / Brodie's Close

Riddle's Court (16th century) with a remarkable stair tower and Brodie's Close named after the artisan Francis Brodie face the Lady Stair's Close museum. Both are well worth a visit. The double life of Brodie's son Deacon William Brodie inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write the novel "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" although the author did move the story to London. Brodie's crimes resulted in him meeting his death on the same gallows that he had designed for the city.
