Discover Wildwood Tours

At Wildwood Tours, we invite you to step into the rich history of Edinburgh, exploring its streets through the stories of the bold, the brave, and the infamous women who have shaped the city. Led by our all-female guides, the tour offers a fresh perspective on the history of Edinburgh, focusing on the women who have left their mark, from unsung heroines to trailblazers, and from those who fought for change to those whose stories are often overlooked.

Inspired by Elen of the Wildwood, the Celtic goddess who guides travelers along wild paths, our tours take you through the city’s historic streets, connecting the past with the present. Elen symbolises protection and guidance, leading us through spaces that have seen both physical and societal change. The history we uncover is not only fascinating, but also grounded in the real experiences of women whose lives intertwine with the fabric of Edinburgh.

The tour is designed as a welcoming, safe space for women to gather, reflect, and share in the exploration of Edinburgh’s past with like-minded people. As you walk through the city, you’ll hear stories of women whose lives and legacies are often untold or underappreciated. It’s a chance to engage with history in a way that’s inclusive, educational, and respectful of the diversity of women’s experiences.

Wildwood hopes to give a deeper understanding of the role women have played in shaping the world around us. By learning about the past, we can better appreciate the city we walk through today. Join us for an engaging journey through Edinburgh’s historic streets, where every step brings you closer to understanding the lives of the women who made history
