The best visual representation of Scotland that I have seen. It allowed me to understand Scottish history better than any book or documentary
The guys not only enjoyed the woven images themselves but also the accompanying commentary - more history learned in an afternoon than in years of lessons!
"What a delightful and creative way to tell the story of Scotland! You don’t need to be a lover of stitching although you can’t fail to be in awe of the way our history is brought to life in thread. "
"I’m not proud to admit that I went to this reluctantly and not really knowing much about it. Fabulous display showing skilful craftsmanship and it provides a detailed account of Scotland’s history in a surprising salient way."
