Riddle's Court

Description

Riddle's Court is a picturesque A-listed merchant's house just steps away from Edinburgh's famous castle. The 1590s building houses unique features including exquisite painted ceilings, authentic working fireplaces and panelled rooms � all of which have been being painstakingly restored by skilled craftsmen. It is closely linked to the work of Patrick Geddes, environmentalist and �father of town planning�.

The building has been restored and new, contemporary interventions added to transform the space into a state of the art venue.
