This may not be the most appealing subject but this Edinburgh tradition does persist to this day.
Suffice that i never spit in public, there is however one exception, and it always always leaves tourists agog when they see it happening!!
To be honest, this is the only place in my life that i've experienced where spitting is deemed acceptable.
Unsure whether i should start with a tourist perspective or the historical reckoning i've decided to go with the historical first...
