Hidden Edinburgh Nature & Myths Tour
New Town
A small-group, women-led walking tour along the Water of Leith uncovering Edinburgh's hidden women's history, folklore and a hands-on aromatherapy workshop.
About
Hidden Edinburgh is a small-group, women-led walking tour that follows the Water of Leith through some of the city's quietest corners, taking in St Bernard's Well, Dean Village and the Archivists' Garden. Along the way, guide Martina Berger — a former journalist — surfaces the stories of the women history left out: Mary Foley, mother of Arthur Conan Doyle, and the plant and poison knowledge behind Agatha Christie, alongside surprising parallels between Scottish and Slavic folklore.
The tour is delivered in partnership with Women in Travel CIC, a community interest company supporting women's entrepreneurship in the travel industry, and reflects that mission in both its content and its storytelling.
The walk ends with a hands-on, personalised aromatherapy blend-making workshop (Tuesdays and Thursdays at Wizardrops on Brunswick Street; other days end instead with its signature Plant Pot Pud at The Botanist, St James Quarter).
