WHIPSTOURS: Guided Walking Tours of Hidden Women's History

WHIPSTOURS is a specialized tour organization based in Edinburgh dedicated to uncovering and celebrating "Women Hidden in Plain Sight." Founded with the mission to highlight the often-overlooked contributions of women to Scotland's capital, the organization provides both in-person walking tours and self-guided audio experiences. These historical journeys focus on the narratives of diverse women, ranging from medieval queens and affluent heiresses to rulebreakers and prominent abolitionists such as Eliza Wigham. The tours predominantly navigate the iconic streets of Edinburgh's Old Town and Royal Mile, beginning at landmarks like Greyfriars Kirkyard and winding through atmospheric closes and alleyways to reveal fascinating historical anecdotes. By peeling back the layers of the city's past, WHIPSTOURS offers an immersive way for locals and international visitors alike to connect with regional heritage through a feminist lens. Beyond its standard public offerings, the brand facilitates private group experiences, media collaborations, and professional speaking opportunities, positioning itself as a key cultural storyteller within the Edinburgh tourism landscape. Each tour is designed to be informative and engaging, ensuring that the legacy of the women who shaped the city is no longer hidden but celebrated.
