St Giles, halfway between Edinburgh Castle and the Palace, it's the mother church of Presbytarianism. It's where God lives when he's in town. Very noisy neighborhood though, so many tourists wandering around, if I was him I'd double-glaze my stained-glass windows.

Nothing like a walking tour on a sunny day in Edinburgh to cheer up a downy clowny. I think vitamin D has something to do with happiness. I think a pint o lager is a good substitute for vitamin D. This is The Royal Mile, so named because it's a mile long and the Royal Palace is at one end of the street, Edinburgh castle at the other. The Scotlanders are very inventive when it comes to naming streets.

The Heart of Midlothian! How epic-sounding eh? This mosaic marked where the prison used to stand and public executions took place. It was and still is common these days to see people spitting on the heart, as a sign of disdain for the former prison and also because it's considered good luck. Not good luck for the chap who gets down on bended knee to propose to his true love only to get spit and phlegm on his trousers. Haha silly romantic chap.
