The Great Tapestry of Scotland

Along with 40,000 other visitors, Grey Granite recently visited the Great Tapestry of Scotland which is currently being exhibited in Aberdeen Art Gallery. This beautiful tapestry, the brainchild of Alexander Macall Smith, stitched by groups from across Scotland tells the history of the nation in 160 panels.

Below is a selection of favourite panels, in no particular order.
Most require no explanation


Fair Isle

Map of Scotland Today, chosen for the lines from VIolet Jacob's poem Wild Geese


Where would we be without OS maps?
