The Great Tapestry of Scotland is one of the most ambitious community
arts projects ever undertaken. The brainchild of bestselling author
Alexander McCall Smith, historian Alistair Moffat and artist Andrew
Crummy, it was created by a team of over a thousand volunteer stitchers
between 2012 and 2013, who cumulatively spent more than 50,000 hours on
the project. At 143 metres, it is twice the length of the Bayeux
Tapestry, and its 160 panels features key moment from over 8,500 of
Scottish history.
This book features a selection of drawings featuring complete panels as
well as details by Andrew Crummy, all specially adapted to allow
colouring enthusiasts to share in this remarkable work of art.
