Representatives from a wide range of tourism groups met on Tuesday morning (25 Sep) at the National Mining Museum in Newtongrange to develop the Midlothian Tourism Action Plan for 2013-2015. The meeting, which was hosted by ourselves and the Midlothian Tourism Forum, featured a series of speakers and in-depth focus groups, covering topics including Food and Drink, History and Heritage, Modern Technology in Tourism and Event Development.
