A walk through Edinburgh’s LGBTQ history with local LGBTQ guides, dealing with history as well as contemporary issues. This walk follows part of Edinburgh’s Pride route to tell the story of how the capital went from being the sort of place queer folk avoided, to being a welcoming and loving place. In a world which is becoming more hostile, this tour aims to provide a welcome reprieve for queer folks and those that love them. Part of the profit goes to support LGBT Health and Wellbeing, one of Scotland’s leading LGBTQ charities.
