Product Info

-What you can expect-
Delve into the queer history of Edinburgh with this enlightening walking tour. You'll uncover tales of police crackdowns in the 1930s, grassroots activism in the 1980s, and the brave communities who fought for the rights enjoyed today.

The two-kilometre journey begins with an ascent up Calton Hill, one of the city's oldest queer gathering places. From there, it meanders down to Broughton Street, known as the heart of LGBTQ+ Edinburgh. This engaging walk is suitable for both first-time visitors and longtime locals, taking approximately 45 minutes to complete.

This tour is entirely self-guided and powered by GPS technology. Audio narratives play automatically as you stroll, requiring no screen-follow or tapping. The system operates offline, eliminating any concerns about signal or data usage. You're free to pause, rewind, and progress at your own pace throughout the tour. At the end of your journey, welcoming cafes and pubs await, offering a chance to reflect on the fascinating stories you've discovered.
