Edinburgh is a fascinating city - probably has the western world's oldest hospital. And the city itself is built on top of mass graves, because they used to literally lock sick people inside their houses during the black plague.
Also the term shitfaced (for being drunk) comes from drunk people wandering the streets of Edinburgh not knowing what time it was. A specific time was allotted to throw all excretions and these wanderers would get a face full of it. 🤧
Ahh, podcasts are the best form of escapism! I've never heard of 'The Antique Shop', but this piece really drew me into that wonderful feeling of listening to a podcast from start to end and feeling like you've found a new community of fellow podcast listeners. Time to add it to my Spotify list I think 🎧
