Tickle my toes

The statue of David Hume seems to have become a mecca for toe tickers. It seems to be tourists from the far east that have a penchant for fondleing David Hume's toes. I can remember when they where a nice green colour like the rest of the statue but over the last couple of years Mr Hume's toes have become very highly polished so much so you can nearly see you face in them.
The statue of philosopher David Hume (1711 -1776) was completed in 1995 by sculptor Sandy Stoddart, it is situated in front of the High Court Building (formally the Sheriff Court) on the Royal Mile.
