Masterclass on Scottish kiltmaking in Edinburgh

Join me, the owner of 21st Century Kilts in Edinburgh, for an exclusive tour that melds the traditional and modern worlds of kilt making. I’ll teach you how to style and wear this iconic garment with confidence and pride. • The tour begins in my studio, where you’ll learn about the history of kilts—from Ancient Egypt to Scotland—and the materials, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that go into creating every one. • Dive into the fascinating story of tartan, Scotland’s signature fabric, which evolved from a symbol of clans to a global fashion statement. Every clan has a pattern, and you can discover yours. • I’ll show you how to wear a kilt as you try on traditional and modern styles in our studio. Embrace the comfort and freedom of the kilt, connecting with Scotland’s heritage in a personal way. • Wrap up with a walk around Edinburgh from the Royal Mile to the Old Town. I’ll share how this ancient city’s past shaped tartan traditions, and how the garments continue to connect Scots to their Celtic heritage. This experience is about more than kilts and tartan—it’s a celebration of identity, confidence, and the enduring allure of Scottish heritage.

Every session ends with a chance to reflect, ask questions, and receive personalized feedback. Optional: Stay for a group photo and networking to cement your place in Edinburgh’s street dance community.

Tour of Edinburgh Castle with Live Guide

This tour includes a little of The Royal Mile and a lot of The Castle. Set aside time after your tour to explore. The price advertised does not include the entrance price to the castle, this is because some people book their own tickets in advance. You can purchase castle tickets directly from us at the start of the tour for your convenience. We meet on the Royal Mile and start by giving a little background history to Edinburgh and the Castle to help put everything into context. Moving up to the castle esplanade where you will learn about the Edinburgh Military Tattoo and two of the most famous figures from Scottish history; Robert the Bruce and William Wallace. Entering the Castle we stop by the Argyle Battery where you will learn about the 1 o'clock gun. Moving on we head down to the Hospital Square where we get impressive views from the Western Panorama before heading up towards the castle barracks and prisoner of war camp, all these areas have enthralling stories that only a guide can bring to life. We then climb to the top of Castle Rock entering the medieval section of Edinburgh Castle. Here we see the oldest building in Edinburgh, St Margaret’s Chapel and Mons Meg, a monstrous canon! The tour finishes in the Crown Square which is the heart of Edinburgh Castle and I will tell you all about the daring attacks against this iconic fortification.

History Lovers Old Town Walk

This is the ideal tour for anyone who wants to learn more than just the basics about Edinburgh's historic Old Town. To start, meet us away from most other tourists, on the edge of Princes Street Gardens, for the best view of Edinburgh Castle in the whole city. This tour will have a bit of everything - you'll learn about the lives of some of the Old Town's most famous and infamous residents, and some gruesome, interesting, and entertaining stories about what the city has seen over the centuries. Along the way, we'll point out some of our favourite spots to pop in for a "wee dram" or pint, so you'll know just where to go once the tour is over. We limit the group size, so it's still a personal experience and you'll be able to chat with your guide and ask questions. Our goal is for you to learn a bit about Edinburgh's history, and have a great time while doing it. We'll do this tour rain or shine, so be sure to watch the weather and come prepared!

The Dark Side of Edinburgh

If you want a mundane, humdrum history walk, this is not the tour for you. But... if you want to learn what the tourist industry leaves out? The hidden, gruesome crimes and punishments? The long forgotten twisted, sadistic characters? The thousands of lives painfully lost in the cruel grip of Edinburgh's past? Maybe you are brave enough to learn the truth. Hear of witches, cannibals, murders, thieves, body snatchers, blood thirsty mobs and the devil in disguise. We will explore haunted graveyards, hide up darkened closes, spit on the Heart of Midlothian and bravely face where Edinburgh believed the world ended. You even get a chance to knock on Bloody Mackenzie's door, if you dare! William Burke or Madam McKinnon will guide you through our streets under cover of darkness. They've been dead for almost 200 years and do not take kindly to modern nonsense. They will however, crack your sides with laughter over their dry Scottish wit. And their tales will chill you to your core. Our tours are historically accurate, with a history this dark there's no need to fabricate!

The Ultimate Edinburgh Photoshoot Tour by Erica

[Please select the accurate number of people when you book.] Each tour is private and completely tailored to you! The standard tour will take place in the Old Town, for which we will meet in front of the St Giles Cathedral. If you already visited the old town and would like to try something different, I can also offer alternative locations. Here is a list of my favourite options, I will ask if you prefer these when you book: - Holyrood Park (for nature lovers): park in the centre of Edinburgh, just down the royal mile. We will head to St. Margaret's Loch and take pictures throughout the path on the way there. Perfect for nature lovers and for who wants a bit of calm in a busy day. - Calton Hill (great city view): hill with city views that hosts a number of monuments. It's one of the most popular postcard spots. You have an amazing choice of backgrounds (City Centre, Harbour, Arthur's seat and more) so we will never run out of pictures to take. - Dean Village (urban style): Bucolic village crossed by a tranquil stream, with gardens and 19th-century buildings. Suitable for people who are looking for a more urban style (the river allows for nature to also be included if desired) Every tour is very personal to me and I will do my best to make you feel at ease. There's no judgement on my side, just be yourself and let me know if you have any particular request!

Whisky and Tales

Let us start by saying the whisky is optional, drink alternatives are available and the cost of the whisky is not included in the £18.00. We do this to make the event as inclusive as possible for drinker, non drinker, whisky lovers and whisky sceptics alike. The whisky or drink alternatives can be added-on on the day. We meet just off the iconic Royal Mile inside a café/bar called Hot Toddy. We have the entire downstairs area reserved for us, ensuring lots of space for the group. During the course of two hours we will sample four outstanding Single Malt Scotch Whiskies from the four major whisky producing regions of Scotland. We will discus some of the history of Scotland and explore the reasons as to why whisky is now so ingrained as a staple of Scottish culture and we have some great tales from Scotland and the world of whisky to share with you. Other things to note This tour departs promptly and we can not wait for guests who are late. Feel free to turn up at Hot Toddy earlier to enjoy some food or drink before the event starts. People under the age of 18 are not permitted on this tour and exceptions can not be made I'm afraid.

Distill a Bottle of Gin on Mini Copper Stills

You will be welcomed to a bespoke micro distillery room where you will receive a gin and tonic on arrival. Guests will be allowed to settle in with a run through of the outline of the class. Each guest will then try three different gin tasting samples and then design their own bespoke gin recipe from the available ingredients. Guests will then use an individual mini copper still to distill their chosen ingredients to produce a 500ml (50cl) bottle of gin to take home with them. While their gin is distilling they will enjoy a cocktail and once their gin has been distilled, they will taste their newly made gin before bottling, labelling, naming and wax sealing their end product. Other things to note Unfortunately the room where we host the gin school is downstairs and not wheelchair accessible.
