- In Assassin's Creed III, the decaying abandoned Edinburgh Castle can be explored by the game's fictional protagonist Connor Kenway, in search for one of the pieces of Captain Kidd's treasure map which ended up in Lewis Hutchinson's private collection after he supposedly killed Joseph Palmer only for it to be stolen by another of Hutchinson's victims.[5][6][7][8]
