The Stories of Edinburgh's LGBTQ+ Past - Walking Tour event will take place at Old College, The University of Edinburgh in Edinburgh on 16th August 2026 at 09:30, with ticket prices ranging from £10.46 to £20.21.
Come with me on a wee walk through Edinburgh's LGBTQ+ history.
My name is Haley, and I'm a local guide here in Edinburgh. As a guide, I've always been fascinated by the city's rich history. As a queer woman, I became especially interested in uncovering Edinburgh's LGBTQ+ past and stories that are often overlooked but are an important part of the city's heritage.
Whether you're a local looking to see Edinburgh from a new perspective or a visitor eager to discover more than the usual landmarks, this tour offers a chance to explore the city's hidden queer history and the people, places, and events that helped shape it.
The tour begins at Old College and finishes at CC Blooms, one of Edinburgh's best-known LGBTQ+ venues. After the tour, anyone who'd like to continue the conversation is warmly invited to join me for brunch at CC's. It's a relaxed opportunity to chat, ask questions, and enjoy some good food together.
