About this episode

Leith: originally an independent borough, now claimed by Edinburgh despite holding on to a distinct identity. Leith's role in the whisky trade can't be underplayed - as Britain's second port at one time, only behind London in terms of significance, Leith has shaped the development and reach of Scotland's most famous export, more than you may realise. But before there was whisky, there was wine. And before that, water. Created by Ruth GrayGuest interviewee is Izzy IrvineProduced by Gary Milne Hosted on Acast.
