Heart of Midlothian Mosaic Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Heart of Midlothian is a heart-shaped pattern in the middle of a road, located on the High Street in Edinburgh, Scotland, part of the Royal Mile, near the west gate of St Giles Cathedral, the Heart of Midlothian marks the 15th century trust The site of Tolbooth, which had been demolished in 1817, was the city's administrative center, prison and a site for public executions. Tobot appears in Sir Walter Scott's novel The Heart of Midlothian (published in 1818). The city currently combines the former West Lothian and East Lothian, but it was the administrative centre of Midlothian and used to be known as "Edinburghshire". Visitors to Edinburgh will notice that people often spit at the heart of Midlothian. Some explanations suggest that this will bring good luck, but originally it was just a sign of contempt for the former prison. There is also a legend that a man spitting on his heart was destined to return to Edinburgh one day.

A small and perfect museum depicting the history of the Football Club of Midlothian. Knowledgeable volunteers can communicate through exhibitions at any time, and historians have studied the road extensively, making it a perfect combination of football and tourism.
The name is "Heart of Zion" and "Heart of Masonry". Close to St Kilda Church and Parliament Square, you will find it by looking at the soles of your feet. The streets of the city are a reflection of Edinburgh's historic atmosphere, reminiscent of the magical medieval times. Come and look for this heart!
The square next to the church was the council chamber, which gradually evolved into a torture chamber, so people always liked to spit at this place called the heart of Midlothianso the heart-shaped sign on the ground was always so dirty.
The Heart of Zion in Central Lothian belongs to a section of the Royal Mile Road, near the west gate of St Giles Cathedral, and is a heart-shaped landmark made of bricks of various colors, which legends can bring good luck.
