James Court
Once married in 1886 Geddes took his new wife to live in a second floor flat of James Court. At the time the Old Town was widely considered a slum and a very bleak place to live. However carrying from Geddes’ early studies in reciprocal accommodation Geddes felt it was possible to create a pleasant residence in difficult situations. Geddes quickly convinced his neighbours to help improve their surroundings by painting, cleaning and planting.
