The Hot Spot: The Escort Bible for the capital of Scotland Edinburgh: Your guide to escorting in Edinburgh 

Escort and Escort Rankings writer Redhotrio speaks to Kayla, a mistress who has her own dungeon in the green suburbs of Edinburgh. 

Historically beautiful with an outstanding castle 

The castle actually sits on an extinct volcano which is 700 million years old. They traditionally shoot a gun at 1pm every day apart from Sunday in memorandum. 

Edinburgh is enriched with vegetation. It has 112 parks and more trees per head than any other UK city making it the greenest of all. 

Edinburgh has 4,500 listed buildings, making it the second city to have the most listed buildings after London. 

Lenient to a point 

In 1982 Edinburgh was the first city in the UK to decriminalise brothels. This was largely due to the AIDS epidemic,and premises were subjected to regular checks by fire services and police. Between 1990 and 2000, the number of saunas doubled, with the local authorities turning a blind eye and letting them operate in peace. 

Edinburgh also became the home of Scotland's first lap dancing venue “The Fantasy Bar”. In 2013 however, as opposed to being decriminalised years before, the police began to crack down on saunas being used as brothels, which are at the time of writing now illegal in Scotland. Their proprietors were accused of living off immoral earnings. 

Thus the number of independent escorts has since increased and also the sharp rise in numbers is due to the cost of living crisis, where women need another way to support their income. 

Yes, Mistress 

Kayla, 53 has been an Edinburgh escort for 25 years. She started working in a sauna and had many regular customers with which she honed the more fetish side of her repertoire. She has since branched out on her own, and has converted the back room in her house into a dungeon. 

..”Being a dominatrix you have a certain skill set that you have to know such as pain thresholds, safe words and boundary pushing, both for myself and the client. If I've seen them before, then it's pretty straightforward, as I know what they want and their levels. But if I haven't seen them before, then I like to call and have a chat to gauge their wants and desires. I will never do anything extreme in the first session as being a sub you are putting your complete trust in me, and trust has to be earned, so we will work up to the super hardcore stuff eventually…” In her room dubbed “The Vault” she has many contraptions to satisfy the most extreme of clients. Many of these were specially made including a wooden wheel that spins, a stretching rack and an iron maiden.

I said that it sounded more Mediaeval than sexual. Kayla laughed, “I still have normal BDSM furniture like a spanking bench and milking chair, but I want to provide for every experience…” It was a costly set up, but Kayla said she made her money back pretty quickly. Clients who book have to make a minimum two hour appointment. Kayla says she's learning all the time about all types of fetishes so she can offer them. She is also skilled in Shibari and says for something as specialised as that then there's no way that you could do a booking for any less than two hours. Luckily she doesn't suffer from any nosey neighbours since her house is set back on its own away from prying eyes, with a rather long driveway to it. 

Dominatrixes clearly do well money wise. 

“.. I love my job. I am by nature a dominant person so it comes instinctively to me. Once I'd gone to the fetish side of escorting there was no stopping me.” 

Kayla admits at the beginning of going independent she had her fair share of time wasters and crank calls, but once she weeded those out, her business is now very much plain sailing. “ I will always be involved in fetish. I'm considering teaching Shibari, and even setting up my own agency for fetish escorts.” 

Kayla has a lovely Scottish lilt to her voice which I can imagine makes men go weak at the knees. Stern but sexy, I felt like I had to behave myself during the interview. 

Memorable times 

Kayla chuckled and said too many to count, but two occurrences stick out in particular. One was where she mummified a guy in cling film leaving just a mouth hole. She then had to place a funnel in his mouth and urinate. The man also urinated whilst wrapped and, to Kayla's dismay, soiled himself too. I don't envy that clean up. 

Another was when a couple wanted to be dominated together. He wanted Kayla to order his girlfriend around to do things to him and to her. At the end of the session he proposed saying he had found his perfect sub. How romantic.

Edinburgh is a beautiful city with many lustrous retailers and restaurants. Expect to be spoiled if a client takes you to dinner. With a lot of client traffic as it's a capital city you would earn whilst you are working here. 

In 2021 the Scottish parliament discussed legislation regarding prostitution, with some wanting to criminalise it.They want to make the clients culprits for seeking sex out. The opposing side said doing that would push prostitution further underground, making it more dangerous for working girls. 

Whilst this would be a problem if it came into force, it is refreshing that the government are actually considering the welfare of escorts and are trying to stop trafficking and girls being forced into prostitution against their will. At the time of writing the results of this discussion are still pending.
