Heart of Midlothian Mosaic
The Midlothian Heart! Originally the entrance to the Old Tollbooth which was demolished in the 1800s. Legend has it that it's good luck to spit in the centre.Do you need to spit while walking, or can you do it from a standstill? I don't know. I'm rarely successful either way, it must be a real Scottish skill!A must-see on the Royal Mile.

It was hard to find but we managed to identify it after a few back and forwards. There is no signage to it.Anyway it was great to see such a piece of history so well preserved. There were only two spits in the stones so probably the tradition is vaping. I did not find the courage to spit in front of people passing by but I hope that I will come back again to Edinburgh without the need to do this :).

Historic spot just outside St. Giles cathedral in Royal mile.Don't be surprised if you see people spitting on it, its a custom in Scotland.

a guy in front of me spat on it and I was extremely shocked (turns out its a local custom) anyway, nobody else seemed to be interested at this wonderful piece in front of me.can be easily seen near St Giles Cathedral

There's not much to say about it. It's a mosaic on the ground outside St Giles Cathedral. It doesn't sing or dance or recite poetry. It lies on the ground like all good mosaics should! It is historical, so it is worth a look if you're in the area.

My reason for this is to show the Edinburgh Fringe images and how Edinburgh looks when its on. Its a wacky world in town the place so busy and full of artists from all over the world. Its well worth a visit even just to see all acts and events that going on in town.

Historic spot with a great story behind it, in Edinburgh, just outside the St. Giles Cathedral.
