Riddle's Court is a Category A-listed merchant's tenement located just off the Lawnmarket on the Royal Mile. You can identify the site by its stone courtyard and the pend entrance, which features the Latin motto Vivendo Discimus—meaning By Living We Learn—carved into the archway. Built in fifteen ninety by Bailie John McMorran, the complex was originally a high-status mansion that eventually accommodated both major and minor aristocracy.
