‘This is an old place, growing older by the day,’ writes poet and Edinburgh Makar Hannah Lavery in ‘Edinburgh is a Story’. In the city’s 900th anniversary year, Lavery joins storyteller Donald Smith (author of Edinburgh: Our Storied City) to honour and reflect upon the capital's layered legacy. How did we get here? What do we wish for Edinburgh’s future? Chaired by Amina Shah.
