Deacon Brodie's

A well known pub in the Royal Mile.  The signs illustrate Brodie's duplicitous character.  A respectable member of the council by day and a burglar by night. He was eventually "fun oot" and hanged on a gallows he designed himself.  It is thought that his life inspired Stevenson's Jekyll and Hyde. More information here
