Heart of the Midlothian
Heart of the Midlothian St Giles Cathedral Edinburgh Scotland |
| 03254p.8s The heart-shaped design of the cobble stones near St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh marks where the entrance to the 15th century Tolbooth used to be located. In 1561 the Tolbooth was originally was used to collect tolls. After 1640 it became a a prison and a site for criminal hangings. Some of the famous victims heads were dispplayed on spikes. The Tolbooth was demolished in 1817. Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was the author of the Heart of the Midlothian which was published in 1818. The story relates the riots of 1736 over the execution of two smugglers. The protesting crowd were fired upon by the city guards of Captain John Porteous, resulting in the death of a few civilians. The hated Porteous was later lynched by the crowd who invaded the tollbooth. The title of the story refers to the geographic location of Edinburgh which was central to the Midlothian county. The public objection to the hangings was demonstrated by their spitting on the door of the tollbooth. When the tollbooth was demolished in 1817, the tradition was continued and spitting on the cobblestone was a hope for goodluck. An old law forbade spitting in public except for on the heart in the cobblestone heart culture history Midlothian Walter Scott spitting good luck Davidoff photography Edinburgh Scotland culture history Davidoff photography copyright 2009 all rights reserved |
