The Great Tapestry of Scotland arrives at New Lanark
October 2014
The Great Tapestry of Scotland has arrived at New Lanark World Heritage Site, where it will be on display from 20 October – 23 November 2014.
The Great Tapestry of Scotland tells the history of Scotland, from its formation, through major events in the nation's past, to modern times in over 160 stitched panels. Thousands of community volunteers from around Scotland came together to create the tapestry, making it Scotland's largest ever community project. At 143m long it is the longest tapestry in the world!
So far this year the tapestry has been visited by more than 100,000 people as it has been exhibited throughout Scotland, and thousands are expected to visit New Lanark to get a chance to see this masterpiece.
As part of the programme of events and exhibitions linked to the tapestry, Andrew Crummy, the tapestry designer and Dorie Wilkie, the lead stitcher will be giving talks on their work.
New Lanark will also be showing its own exhibition 'Woven through History' which tells the story of textiles at New Lanark.
