Daraus:
Lothian is the county/district in which Edinburgh is. Lothian is divided in three parts: East, West and Mid. Dalkeith and Edinburgh are in MidLothian. Saying you have a heart of Lothian is just saying where you come from.
However, there is also a ‚real‘ Heart of Lothian:
The ‚Heart of Lothian‘, full name ‚Heart of Midlothian‘, is a mosaic heart inlaid into the pavement (i.e. sidewalk; see right) halfway up the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, the nearest city to Fish’s hometown of Dalkeith. The heart is traditionally spat into when you walk past it, and is a symbol of local pride. One of the Edinburgh football (i.e. soccer) teams was named ‚Heart of Midlothian‘ after it and Sir Walter Scott wrote a novel of the same name last century.
