Description

Invisible Cities trains people who have experienced homelessness to become walking tour guides of their own cities. With tours in Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland, they were awarded Best Community Tour in the world by Lonely Planet in 2021.

Invisible Cities are running two guided tours at the Gathering: a "Women of Edinburgh" tour on Tuesday, and "City of Migration" tour on Wednesday. On this "Women of Edinburgh" tour, join your guide Gayle for an introduction on some of the women that have marked the city. Fish wives, doctors or witches, you will learn about 3 historical women and their representation in the city (or lack of!). 

Please book onto this event as places are limited - only those who have booked will be able to attend. Assemble at the table near the cloakroom in the Strathblane Hall. Please look out for the Invisible Cities guides with their uniform and tour signs. The tour will leave at 12.30pm sharp.
