Description
Tours with Tots is a supportive space for new parents where you can bring your baby, but the activity is all about YOU!
Each month we do a mini tour of a different part of Edinburgh then head to have a coffee and a fascinating discussion about our visit. We welcome parents of all languages and backgrounds, and our goal is to create a community to help you through those difficult first months (years, decades….) of becoming a parent. June's tour is about some of the most important women in British history that you have never heard of! The Edinburgh Seven, the first women to ever matriculate in a British University. Their story is inspirational, astounding, remarkable, and also depressingly all too familiar to the female experience of the 21st century. After our tour we'll head for a coffee and dive into some fascinating discussion about their story, why it hasn't been remembered, and what other women inspire us (who we probably haven't heard of either!).
