Join Hazel Johnson, Director of BEFS and Edinburgh World Heritage trustee, as she poses questions to a panel from local organisations; Julie Trevisan-Hunter, Marketing Director for The Scotch Whisky Experience, Tommy Zyw, Director of the Scottish Gallery, and Keira Brown, Communications and Community Manager of Edinburgh UNESCO City of Literature Trust.
