Six Brunton Place, Edinburgh...
Frederick James Ritchie designed the clock which fired Greyfriars Bobby's dinner-time signal - the One o' Clock Gun. His son James followed in his father's footsteps by designing the world's first floral clock which can be seen in West Princes Street Gardens. Sue Thompson the proprietor of number six has approved of the design for a plaque stating that Frederick James Ritchie lived at 6 Brunton Place for forty years. Sue who is an architect has carefully restored the house making it an ideal place to stay if you’re planning a visit to Edinburgh. Details can be found on www.sixbruntonplace.com.
