Deacon Brodie
was an important figure in the city in the 18th century. But he lived a
'double-life'. During the day he was a politician, at night a criminal.
In 1788 he was hanged on the Grassmarket. At the Royal Mile (Lawnmarket)
you can visit Deacon Brodie's Tavern. september 2001 - photo: webmaster |

The famous Royal
Mile. It is the artery of Old Town, starting on Castle Rock and ending at
The Palace of Holyrood House. september 2001 - photo: webmaster |
 |
Cockburn Street.
Located between the Royal Mile and Waverley Bridge. Typical 'Old Town Street'
with high buildings and a couple of close's. In one of them you could find
Chez Janine back then. It's closed now but it was a nice French restaurant.

The Elephant House: a
cosy coffeeshop on George IV Bridge. It's the place where J.K. Rowling started
writing her big-selling Harry Potter books. At that time she was a single
mother without a job. The Elephant House is popular by students and has
a stunning view of the Castle in the back. march 2006 - photo: webmaster |
