OUR TOURS
Three curated journeys into Edinburgh’s quieter, hidden stories.
A different kind of walking tour — slow, researched, respectful and rooted in real history.
Each journey weaves together folklore, women’s voices, symbolism and the quieter side of Edinburgh.
HERBARIA
Herbal lore, forgotten women and traces of Edinburgh’s witchcraft past.
​
​A walk through gardens, closes and hidden corners, exploring Edinburgh’s botanical memory and the women who shaped the city — extraordinary figures history forgot, but whose stories still whisper through herbs, stones and silence.
ARCANA
Symbols, secrets and the silent geometry hidden in plain sight.
​
An esoteric journey through carved symbols, forgotten marks and the silent geometry that shaped Edinburgh’s Old Town.
A research-based walk revealing how masons, mystics and ordinary citizens encoded beliefs, warnings and protection into the stones — a language that survives only for those who know how to read it.
​
EXILIA
Stories of outsiders, wanderers and the quiet migrations that shaped the city.
​
A walk through Edinburgh’s lesser-seen paths, following the traces of travellers, exiles and displaced voices who left subtle but lasting marks on the city.
From hidden communities to unexpected crossings of culture, Exilia reveals how movement — chosen or forced — shaped identities, stories and the fabric of Edinburgh itself.
DURATION
Two hours walking through stories left in the shadows.
GROUP SIZE
Small groups for a calmer, more personal experience.
Private tours are available on request.
