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 "City of Migration" tour, with your guide Jason you will learn about Edinburgh as a place that has been welcoming immigrants for centuries, through little Italy and other parts of the old town.

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.
