The brainchild of bestselling author Alexander McCall Smith, historian
Alistair Moffat and artist Andrew Crummy, 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 Murray's Wimbledon victory in 2013.
This book tells the story of this unique undertaking from its original
conception and creation by teams of dedicated stitchers to its grand
unveiling at the Scottish Parliament in 2013, its subsequent touring and
the creation of its permanent home in the Scottish Borders.
