A trip through the heart of Scotland's capital to find out how LGBT people carved out a life in an occasionally hostile climate, past many important sites in the fight for liberation.
This matters now more than ever when the forces of reaction are working to make our community smaller and more isolated. Open to both members of the LGBTQ community as well as allies who are keen to show support. You pay nothing to join the tour and at the end you pay what seems a fair price.
To assist with valuable work in the LGBTQ community, part of the proceeds will go to LGBT Health and Wellbeing (recognised as a charity by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator, no. SC034216)
In the interests of inclusivity, changes can be made to accommodate disabilities. Tour runs for 90 minutes
Additional Dates: 18 April 2025, 25 April 2025, 02 May 2025, 09 May 2025, 16 May 2025, 23 May 2025, 30 May 2025, 06 June 2025
