Maybe somebody could correct the spelling in the thread title? It's always "Brodie".

The Deacon Brodie pub is still there and still rather expensive. The Covenanters is now called The Canon's Gait (after a spell of being called The Blue Blanket). Wee Windaes is a posh restaurant, not a pub now.

It's surprising there were no songs about Brodie from his own time. Not even a fake eve-of-execution broadside.
