Exploring LGBTQ+ history in Edinburgh and around Scotland
Uncovering queer history in Edinburgh became my passion project during the pandemic. Tourism had shut down and suddenly I had lots of time on my hands to delve into the aspects of history I never normally got to talk about on tours. Once I started digging, I just kept finding fascinating stories. I still do!
I decided to collect some resources for you here, so you can discover more of Scotland and Edinburgh’s queer history for yourself. Below, you’ll find virtual tours, interactive maps and links to further reading. If you have any of your own stories to share, please get in touch – this kind of history survives through storytelling.
