Heart of Midlothian

The Heart of Midlothian is a historic mosaic heart embedded in the cobbled street of Edinburgh's Royal Mile. It marks the site of the Old Tolbooth, a 15th-century prison and administrative center. This spot is famous for the tradition of spitting on the heart as a gesture of luck or defiance. Surrounded by bustling city life, the heart remains a popular symbol of Edinburgh's rich history.
