Deacon Brodies Tavern

You will find Deacon Brodies Tavern in Royal Mile Edinburgh within a short walk of Edinburgh Castle Born in 1741 Brodie was a deacon of the Guild of Wrights.

Step in to discover a traditional pub of unique character, revered for its eclectic range of real ales and its heartily classic pub food, which are served, as they should be, with a generous measure of famous British hospitality. Our tavern is named after William Brodie, one of the inspirations for Robert Louis Stevenson's Jekyll and Hyde. By day, he was a respectable citizen, a member of the town

Wow, so cool! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The final Edinburgh print! Featuring the Royal Mile facing Deacon Brodies Tavern and the Bank of Scotland on Lawmarket. Detailing the old town in its shimmering evening beauty with its cobbled streets and stone walls, ancient alleyways and twinkling lights has been a dream.

On my visit to Edinburgh I found myself photographing every single pub obsessively along the Royal Mile, keen to spot the most ornate signage, the best hanging baskets, my favourite window displays and of course getting a pint in each.

I hope I've done it justice. I'd love to hear about your experiences along the Royal Mile!
