Edinburgh, Heart of Midlothian

The Heart of Midlothian - a heart shape set in cobblestones on the High Street near St. Giles Cathedral. It marks the position of the 15th Century Tollbooth that was demolished in 1817. Criminals used to spit on the door of the Tolbooth when passing. Locals still follow this tradition and spit on the heart!
