Edinburgh. Formerly known as the Edinburgh Cape Society Tavern and was the original gathering place for the famous 18th century Cape Society, formed in the early 1700s and lasting until 1764. This club was formed to support the Scottish Militia and members included Scotland's national poet Robert Burns, Deacon William Brodie (subject of Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde), and artists Alexander Runciman and Sir Henry Raeburn. The clubs insignia was a cape or crown and two maces in the form of steel pokers. The tavern still features prints of the Cape Society on its walls. Like the World's End Bar across the street, the exterior wall of the pub formed part of Edinburgh's ancient Flodden Wall which protected the city's Old Town and there are brass cobbles that represent their exact location. The world outside of this wall was known as The World's End. The King Slayer Scottish Ale from Loch Leven Brewery was delicious.
