An historical standing building survey was carried out at Riddle's Court, Lawnmarket, Edinburgh between November and December 2012. Riddle's Court is a significant A-listed building situated on the Royal Mile in the Old Town of Edinburgh close to Edinburgh Castle. The historical documentary research enhanced the architectural/archaeological investigation to produce a credible broad narrative up to the early eighteenth century. The occupants and critical monetary changes that occurred under each ownership or tenancy between 1584 and 1702 were recorded. Between these years radical alterations within the interior of the complex were carried out to suit the needs of the occupants. A full photographic survey recorded the current layout of the buildings making up the Riddle's Court building complex. This provides a record of the existing layout of the building and provides a record of the rooms prior to their refurbishment and/or alteration.
