The best known resident of Brodie's Close, Deacon William Brodie (1741-1788), may have been the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's story of Jekyll and Hyde.
The 'closes' of Edinburgh's Old Town are narrow passages branching off at right angles from the main streets. They provide access to the tenement buildings, and often to small shared courtyards. Many closes also act as shortcuts between Old Town's main streets.
