The entrance to Wardrop's Court is embellished with two dragons that date back to 1890s. At that time, Patrick Geddes (see Patrick Geddes Centre) was regenerating the Old Town, by encouraging university students and tutors to live in the community.
The dragons were carved by Geddes’ son Arthur and were restored to their original splendour in 2014.
Wardrop's Court leads into Makars' Court, a peaceful public space, next to the Writers’Museum. Enjoy the tranquility while reading the flagstones inscribed with quotations from Scottish writers from the 14th century to the present day.
