Gladstone's Land Accessibility Guide
Join us as we uncover the fascinating and complex story of Jane Pirie, a former resident of Gladstone’s Land. In 1810, Pirie and fellow teacher Marianne Woods became embroiled in a scandalous defamation case after a student accused them of being in a same-sex relationship. Their lengthy legal battle later inspired 
The Children’s Hour
 (1961), starring Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine.
At the turn of the 19th century, Edinburgh was a city of contrasts. The New Town embodied Enlightenment ideals—rationality, progress, and order—while the Old Town remained cramped and medieval, steeped in tradition. Jane Pirie moved between these two worlds, with ties to both of the National Trust for Scotland’s historic properties. She grew up in lodgings at Gladstone’s Land in the heart of the Old Town and later worked at a school near The Georgian House in the elegant New Town.
This talk will explore the dramatic events that shaped Pirie’s life and what followed, examining how race, gender, sexuality, and class intersected in early 19th-century Edinburgh.
Doors open: 6:30pm
Talk starts: 7pm
This talk will be delivered by Indigo Dunphy-Smith, who works as part of the Visitor Services team at The Georgian House and is the co-chair of the LGBT Network for The National Trust for Scotland. Indigo has recently launched a toolkit in partnership with the
 Queer Heritage and Collections Network
 to help Historic properties explore LGBTQ+ narratives within established collections. As part of The National Trust for Scotland's ten-year strategy, Nature, Beauty and Heritage for everyone, we have been exploring the lives of people who lived outside societal conventions. Part of this venture has included revisiting our interpretation of people who are associated with our built heritage.

我愛丁堡之旅最獨特的部分之一，就是能在一處同時感受到歷史和文化，從城堡俯瞰愛丁堡市區的景色令人嘆為觀止。不過，風太大，不太值得去城堡參觀。

愛丁堡老城

苏河家园

英國愛丁堡舊城依山近海，密佈中世紀石頭建築，景色優美。愛丁堡不僅是金融重鎮，更是藝術的殿堂，走在大街上，隨處可見藝人歡樂的表演。這裡是蘇格蘭傳統服飾格裙起源地，藝術與生活的交融讓人流連忘返，值得一遊。

荷里路德宮

_TI***3h

荷里路德宮位於皇家英里大道的盡頭，自16世紀以來一直是皇家住所，其前身修道院始建於1128年（至今仍屹立於此）。作為一座仍在使用的宮殿，荷里路德宮絕對是您愛丁堡之旅的必遊之地。但請不要將其與倫敦的白金漢宮相提並論，因為除了都是君主住所之外，兩者在其他方面都截然不同。有些房間充滿了歷史的痕跡，並出現在著名的畫作中。其中一間是蘇格蘭女王瑪麗的寢宮，她的摯友正是在這裡在她面前被殺害的（據說，在他遺體被放置的地方還留有一處血跡）。總而言之，這將是一次令人難忘的沉浸式體驗，我強烈推薦您參觀這座宮殿。也別忘了參觀荷里路德修道院，它是愛丁堡最古老的建築之一，其遺址保存完好，極具歷史韻味。

蘇格蘭威士忌體驗中心

D Day for Travel

非常棒的體驗。品酒結束後，你會獲贈一個威士忌酒杯。我們學到了很多威士忌知識，總的來說非常有趣。

卡爾頓山

登山

卡爾頓山是愛丁堡標誌性景點，其以新古典主義建築群、360度城市全景和豐富的文化活動而聞名。設計靈感以雅典帕特農神廟為藍本，山頂上希臘式立柱恢宏雄偉，像一座被時光凝固的神廟骨架，靜靜守護著愛丁堡。&zwnj;
