Visitors to Edinburgh will often notice people spitting on the Heart. A tolbooth (prison) stood on the site, where executions used to take place. The heart marks its doorway: the point of public execution. Some people spit on the Heart. Although now sometimes said to be for good luck, this was originally simply a sign of historic disdain for the former prison. One popular legend says that by spitting on the heart, one is destined to one day return to Edinburgh.

Jag har faktiskt undrat över detta ett tag, varför vi spottade på det där hjärtat.

Dålig turist man är då.
