Smelly walls keep vandals at bay

"EDINBURGH Castle is to be smeared with rancid milk and mouldy orange peel to drive away vandals.
Officials are daubing the walls of the castle with a foul formula made of sour milk, orange peel, soya beans and corn to drive away graffiti artists. The fruit and veg-based repellent stops paint from fixing to the walls, without damaging the ancient stones."

I would have thought a bunch of inebriated Scotsmen pissing up against the walls would have had the same effect meself.
