Scottish Historic Buildings Trust is relaunching Riddle’s Court, a c16th merchant house, at the top of the Lawnmarket as a unique venue for Conferences and Meetings, following a 2 year £6 million refurbishment.

The building was officially opened by Prince Charles on Friday Sept 8th.

The renovations have created a medium sized historic and bright space – the Patrick Geddes Room – which can accommodate up to 40 people pictured here as a generously laid out boardroom, a lovely airy 100 seater conference room (see below), ) and a small room that can accommodate 12, all with WiFi, break out facilities, access to a first class café, and facilities for a bar. For guests we can also offer the Kings Chamber in the north block of Riddle’s Court as an overnight stay.

Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s old town, this historic old merchant house offers a remarkable tranquil venue in the city centre with its secret courtyards, attentive staff, quality catering and provides easy access to Waverley Rail Station, Princes Street, The Royal Mile, and other local attractions.

Gail Raselli, Events manager, at Riddles Court said
“We are looking forward to welcoming clients new and old to Riddles Court as I am sure they will be enthralled by restoration of the buildings historic features whilst appreciating its new modern facilities and unique touches, such as multi coloured lighting, and entirely class lift system.

All in all, Riddle’s Court offers excellent value-for-money for those who want a central, affordable Conference or meeting venue offering a unique historical setting.

Over the last couple of months, we have been working with the Scottish Historic Buildings Trust as part of the team redeveloping the historic Riddle’s Court building.

The project, which is in its final stages, will save and redevelop the 400 year old building and will provide a community, conference and event space in one of Edinburgh’s most historic buildings. The Patrick Geddes Centre will be at the centre of the building, providing a world-class centre for learning.

SortmyPC was awarded the contract to provide a secure and protected business network and VOIP telephone system, to allow the building to operate efficiently. Our involvement in the £5.7m project will help ensure the historic building is fit for use in the C21st.
