Riddle's Court

Edinburgh, Edinburgh Old Town, Scotland

About

Tucked off Edinburghs Royal Mile, Riddles Court is a 16th-century courtyard gem hidden within the UNESCO World Heritage Old Town. This beautifully restored historic townhouse, built in 1592 and once home to wealthy merchant Baillie John MacMorran, offers a setting of rare intimacy and architectural splendour. With cobbled courtyards, oak-panelled chambers, and vaulted cellars draped in centuries of stories, it is Edinburghs most unique and characterful wedding venue. Perfect for culture-loving couples who want a truly one-of-a-kind setting at the very heart of the citys historic soul.
