Just to add to Jeris posting about the Great Tapestry of Scotland, it is beautifully illustrated with a wealth of information about the story behind each panel, planning on seeing it when its at the Scottish parliament later this year.
But there is also a wonderful book about the Tapestry of Prestonpans [which lies a few miles from Edinburgh] it too is also beautifully illustrated and tells the story of Bonnie Prince Charlies journey from France to victory at Prestonpans in 1745. It was also designed by Andrew Crummy who designed the GTofS tapestry. There is a very informative web site about itwww.prestonpanstapestry.org and fingers crossed we will get to see this one also. And for final tapestry overload I believe that the Scottish Diaspora Tapestry is also nearing completion and panels will be on display in Edinburgh at St Marys Episcopal Cathedral in August. Its another community project based on the dispersal of Scotlands people around the world, more information atwww.scottishdiasporatapestry.org, believe Andrew Crummy is involved with this project too.
