Let Susan guide you through Edinburgh’s hilariously skanky past. A world of flying jobbies, dangerous ladies and bonking bankers. Not the history they taught you at school, that's for sure. Edinburgh might think she’s a cut above her grubbier Glaswegian sister, but she forgets her own dodgy past… The whiff of scandal and chamber pots is everywhere. No wonder the curtains twitch. Behind them you’ll find world-class courtesans, bonking bankers and outdoor sex parties. Yes, in Scotland. Brave, given the weather. That’s the funny thing about history… it’s funny.
