Bebe CaveGUEST
That was my first day at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Bebe CaveGUEST
I would fire every day on the Royal Mile.
Bebe CaveGUEST
I flied every day next to Out of the Blue, that Oxford a cappella group.
Bebe CaveGUEST
And there was this one guy, oh my God, and they would sing Don't You Want Me Baby every day on the Royal Mile.
Bebe CaveGUEST
And the boy that I loved, the boy that I loved, he was called Donal.

I'd never heard of a name like that in my life.

Huge DaviesGUEST
because we hate going on first obviously so we just flipped for it we were like we do it every other day and I was like I don't know I'm a pretty lucky guy
Mark JenningsHOST
I used to do there's this gig called Jocks and Jordies that they used to do there I used to always go and do spots there but to me it always just seemed like you know you just see those people milling about on the Royal Mile it's confused people the non-playable characters of the fringe just these confused tourists with the hiking boots and the jackets and they're old and they're from Spain or just Americans just people that are like I don't even want to use my show.
Mark JenningsHOST
They don't know what a jock or a jolly is.
Mark JenningsHOST
They don't know what a jock or a jolly is and they never came in.
Mark McKenzieGUEST
Thankfully it was out that day because it might have disturbed them slightly, although I'm sure they'd embraced it as well.
Mark McKenzieGUEST
And they marched up the Royal Mile, which is never an easy challenge at the best of times, but doing that in uniform, in boots, on cobbles, is a bigger challenge.
Mark McKenzieGUEST
I mean, it's nowhere near the up-summit challenge that I'm doing for the BRPS Big Salute, but we can maybe mention that towards the end.
Mark McKenzieGUEST
But just a fantastic day full of everything you would expect and including fascinated onlookers from around the world.
Mark McKenzieGUEST
The risk assessment for that is incredible.
Mark McKenzieGUEST
So this was very much just about them.
Mark McKenzieGUEST
So they marched up from the bottom to halfway up the hill, up the Royal Mile.
Mark McKenzieGUEST
And there, there was a short ceremony where they receive a certificate from the Lord Promised.
Matt Goodwin-BairdHOST
So David had shared something from Nextdoor, which is like an app like Facebook, where, you know, someone had charged a car just yesterday and he said he can see it from the comments.
Matt Goodwin-BairdHOST
Maria Anna said about living near Edinburgh's Royal Mile is scary.
Matt Goodwin-BairdHOST
There are loads of dark lines.
Matt Goodwin-BairdHOST
People hide.
Ros WilliamsGUEST
Um, and it's- This is another fantastic person in Edinburgh who, if you haven't met them already, you must meet.
Ros WilliamsGUEST
So Psychomoda, which is just off the Royal Mile, is a shop, and she makes beautiful things.
Ros WilliamsGUEST
Franken-kilts, which is made out of different bits of kilts.
Zoe EdwardsHOST
Oh, wow.
speaker_0HOST
And that's where we need to begin.
speaker_0HOST
The Canongate forms the eastern section of the route most of us now know as Edinburgh's Royal Mile.
speaker_0HOST
The name the Royal Mile is actually much younger than the streets themselves.
speaker_0HOST
References to a Royal Mile can be found in Edinburgh's newspapers during the late 19th century, when the phrase seems to have been used more as a descriptive nickname than a formal street name.
speaker_0HOST
In 1901, W. M. Gilbert, no relation, used the phrase in his book, Edinburgh in the 19th Century, describing the castle and palace with the Royal Mile Between.
speaker_0HOST
The name became increasingly familiar during the 20th century.
speaker_0HOST
But the route itself is made up of several streets.
Simon WeekesHOST
I'm aware of the football team.
Eleanor MortonGUEST
On the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, where I live, there is a stone pattern on the cobbles outside St. Giles Cathedral in the shape of a heart.
Eleanor MortonGUEST
And that marks where the toll booth for the prison used to be.
Eleanor MortonGUEST
So it used to be where the prisoners were kept.
Eric LarmettGUEST
No sleeping risk at all.
Eric LarmettGUEST
And it was a multi-story hotel on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.
Eric LarmettGUEST
That building was then empty of people for three years while they sorted it out.
Eric LarmettGUEST
Three years.
