Deacon Brodie's Tavern, Royal Mile, Edinburgh

Deacon Brodie's Tavern, Royal Mile, Edinburgh
A greatly respected member of Edinburgh‘s society, William Brodie (1741-88) was a skilful cabinet-maker and a member of the Town Council as well as deacon (head) of the Incorporation of Wrights and Masons. However, unknown to most gentlefolk, Brodie had a secret night-time occupation as the leader of a gang of burglars. An extra-curricular activity that was necessary to support his extravagant lifestyle which included two mistresses, numerous children and a gambling habit. (Ben Johnson) Quoted from the Historic UK website

The underbelly of Edinburgh, fit for a John Rebus investigation. I love the splash of red from the twin telephone boxes. Did you get fish and chips here, Joe?

Oh, naughty William Brodie! I wonder if he was ever charged for his crimes? I think he must have been a charming rogue....and now he has a pub named after him, which looks very nice actually ;-) Great shot and information Joe. Cheers, Rosa.

Yes, he was hanged for his crimes. He was hanged on a gibbet of his own design. Thanks for your very kind comment, Rosa. Stay safe and have a good weekend. Cheers, Joe
