Riddle’s Court Nocturne
18 Aprby JW Steel
“The Goodliest House” in Edinburgh’s Old Town has a wonderful, colourful history, although its original owner, Baillie John McMorran, met an untimely death when he was shot dead by 15 year old William Sinclair in a riot.
The gentleman’s mansion originally came w gardens whose footprint encompassed the area we now know as Victoria Street and Terrace.
