Social Groups

Edinburgh

Unscene Edinburgh

Unscene Edinburgh is Scotland’s busiest social group for gay and bi men, organising and enjoying a great range of events, mostly away from the scene.

We do walks, film nights, pub quizzes, book group, shows, canoeing, social nights, plus all those one-off events that Edinburgh offers! We hold 100 events each year, mostly free, and we’re free to join.

To join us you should have a recent face pic – we are a private group, so only other members can see who is in the group. We’re on Facebook and you can find us here: www.facebook.com/groups/UnsceneEdinburgh

BearScots

Scotland’s group for bears, cubs, chubs and their admirers. We hold monthly bear events in both Edinburgh and Glasgow, and host the annual ‘BearScotFest’ extravaganza in October. The group also runs regular trips and visits across Scotland and around the UK for our members such as our “BearScots BBQ” in late summer. Membership is free and is open to anyone over the age of 18 who identifies as a gay or bisexual man.
