Great Tapestry of Scotland

The Great Tapestry of Scotland is an outstanding celebration of thousands of years of Scottish history and achievement, from the end of the last Ice Age to Dolly the Sheep and Andy Murry's Wimbledon victory of 2013. More than 1000 stitchers spent a total of 55,000 sewing hours on the 160 panels that make up this extraordinary work of art.

This book shows in full colour all the finished panels of the tapestry - one of the biggest community arts projects ever to take place in Scotland - together with descriptive and explanatory material on each panel and lists of all the stitchers involved.
