ABOUT HEKATE TOURS
Why Hekate?
Inspired by the ancient goddess of crossroads and hidden knowledge, the name reflects our way of guiding — illuminating what usually stays unseen.
Hekate Tours was born from the desire to walk Edinburgh differently: slowly, respectfully, and with curiosity.
Each route is carefully researched and written to bring back to light the stories that usually remain in the shadows : forgotten women, suppressed beliefs, and symbols carved into stone.
These are intimate, thoughtfully crafted tours for travellers who appreciate depth and meaning: rooted in real history, enriched by folklore, and always honest about the darker chapters of the past.
No costumes, no theatrics – just time, space, and context to truly meet the city.
Every tour is written from scratch, shaped by months of research, fieldwork, and lived experience in the city.
Each route is curated to offer depth, accuracy, and stories you won’t find in mainstream itineraries.
