The Edinburgh Fortean Society was formed in 1999 by Fortean researcher Gordon Rutter. Regular monthly meetings have taken place since then and as most Forteans seem to enjoy a drink or two the meetings have always taken place in Edinburgh pubs.

The group currently meets in the Illicit Still, 2 Brougham Street, Tollcross, Edinburgh. Meetings are on the second Tuesday of every month, 8 for 8.30 with free entry.

The group has a series of monthly lectures which carry on the interests and ideas (in the broadest sense) of Charles Fort. As with the writing of Fort the members of the group do not necessarily believe in the topics that are talked about, they are however interested.

In 2007 the group held it's first one day event in September, a mini UnConvention. The speakers for this event were Caroline Watt, Ian Simmons, Geoff Holder, Gail Nina Anderson and Gordon Rutter.
