Discover Tailor-Made Experiences through Scotland

At Invisible Cities we are so much more than our tours: from our regular training for guides, to our events and partnership, our team through the UK keeps busy.

In this section you can read news from our cities. Whether we have had a special guest on a tour, or if we are organising something exciting in one of our cities we will post it here.

We also ask our trainees, guides, staff and volunteers to contribute to this section and want to raise awareness about the issues our cities are facing: homelessness, social injustice and more!
