Painted ceiling Beams, Riddle's Court
Description
A painted wooden ceiling with protruding beams in Riddle's Court, Edinburgh.

MacLean, Kevin
Date
2008
Type
Digital image
Riddle's Court is situated on the south side of the Lawnmarket. It takes its name from Riddals Land dating from 1587 and was built by George Riddell, Wright and Burgess. The remains of the house of Bailie McMorran, built in the 16th century, are located here.
The beam ceiling dates from either the late 16th Century or the early 17th Century. The ceiling shows the influence of the renaissance as the ceiling boards show crowns, dragons, grotesque faces and thistles.
