Then, make your way to Grassmarket Community Project, a social enterprise, and Greyfriar's Cemetary, where you'll learn about the Covenanters and the first concentration camp in history. Hear stories about Deacon Brody, the character that inspired Jekyll and Hyde, before making your final stops at Street Work and the Serenity Café, the UK's first addiction recovery cafe.
