About Intimate Lives: Valentine’s Edition
Do something different for Valentine's Day this year. Grab your significant other or best group of friends and join us for this special Valentine's Edition of our Intimate Lives tour looking at the history of sex in Edinburgh.
Not for the easily embarrassed, this in-depth tour of Gladstone's Land covers topics including privacy, masturbation, sex work and LGBT+ relationships. Includes some very crude (but historically correct) language.
The Valentine's Tour includes a glass of bubbly and a special treat to get in the mood for a fun and educational romp through history.
Recommended 16+
