Site of Edinburgh's Last Public Execution

Here we look across towards the statue of David Hume from the corner of
Lawnmarket and George IV Bridge.  A plaque on the wall nearby reads:

 The site of the gallows is marked  by the three brass plates set at the edge of the pavement in front of this notice.  George Bryce, the Ratho Murderer was executed here on 21st June 1864, the last public execution in Edinburgh.
