Heart of Midlothian Mosaic

The Heart of Midlothian is a distinctive heart-shaped stone mosaic embedded directly into the cobblestones of Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Posts highlight its unique historical background and the enduring local tradition of people spitting on the mosaic as a symbol of disdain for historical executions.

Commenters share a deep affection and longing for Edinburgh, often asking practical questions about travel safety, weather, and city sights. There is notable curiosity surrounding the spitting tradition at the mosaic, alongside broader interest in touring the city's historic closes.
