Edinburgh gets one of its nicknames--Auld Reekie--from the fact that its citizens famously threw the contents of their chamber pots out the windows into the streets, to slide down the hill and create a great stink. In this episode, Kate and Thomas speak to Gladstone's Land tour guide David Hamill about the "waste" problem and other interesting factors of life in Edinburgh's Old Town.
