Thanks for watching Rab. It just seems to be an issue on certain devices for some reason. Very odd.

Wow, what a sad story - how can the man have killed the woman when he had no arms? What was going on in the judge's mind that he steered the jury towards a guilty verdict, and why didn't anyone in the jury look at the evidence? As someone who has also been falsely accused of very serious crimes despite severe disability (meaning I couldn't possibly have done what I was accused of), it always shocks me when judges, corrupt police officers and the likes continue with arresting and jailing a profoundly disabled person who cannot even survive alone - much less carry out an act of extreme violence! Very well presented video, lovely pictures of Edinburgh - shame it's such a sad story but there's a lot that's happened over the centuries especially in Edinburgh, that's why it's haunted like there's no tomorrow. I haven't been to Edinburgh yet (except to change trains on the way to Dundee) but if I ever do get an operation that will cure me, I would love to visit Scotland again and definitely Edinburgh (I'm in England)!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.Edinburgh is a beautiful city to have an explore round but has a fair few hills!

[@LittleKitty22]

@@scotlandshistory Ah, just like my city then - more hills than a Swiss cheese has holes, HAHA... if I do get back to normal then that wouldn't be a problem, it's not my legs that don't work but neck, spine and one arm and the whole thing so affects all the muscles that I can't do anything. There are some strange peculiarities in my city, with some roads going uphill in either direction - yup, I noticed this when I could still walk, it's not really apparent when driving but when one is walking it's more effort to go uphill and some roads definitely go uphill in either direction! It's one of these strange things like the places in the US where if one puts the car into neutral it will roll uphill. No one has ever found any explanation for such things. But if I ever get back to normal, I want to take some water scales along and see what's going on in these roads that are going uphill in both directions! Wonder if such things exist in Edinburgh too... I have heard of the underground city and that's quite spooky too.

He still had his feet, Kitty ... ⏰ 🌠

[@scotlandshistory]

@Little Kitty that's Mary King's Close, and it's amazing! It's also very steep in places! Unfortunately you're not allowed to take photos or videos of it but it's a place I'll never forget. Your city sounds intriguing. We have a part of a road known as Electric Brae which is like that.

[@LittleKitty22]

@@RHR-221b Yes, I know that some people who have no arms, do manage to learn to do quite a lot with their feet. True. But - and here comes the big but: how could he have dragged a dead body around with his feet - meaning he would have to have been able to walk at the same time? One can only do things with one's feet if one doesn't have to walk at the same time. He cannot have dragged the body along with one foot (dead bodies are heavy - before the current normalization of obesity, an average human adult female weighed about 50 kilogram) and hopped along with the other. It's more likely that someone else murdered the woman (maybe the husband she was estranged from) and it was made to look like the guy she was living with did it - he was an alcoholic so easy to blame...

It's always fascinating to hear about forensics before we knew about things like DNA.
