Over the centuries since Riddle's Court was built in 1587, it has served many purposes: a merchant's house, a venue for a banquet held by King James VI, aristocratic apartments, overcrowded tenements, a Mechanics Subscription Library, a University Hall developed by Patrick Geddes, emergency post-war housing, a Community Learning Centre, and an Edinburgh Fringe Festival venue.
Riddle's Court is now in the care of the
Scottish Historic Buildings Trust
who are restoring it and will reopen it to the public as the Patrick Geddes Learning Centre.
