THE world’s longest tapestry was unveiled today at a private preview for the 200 Scottish volunteers who helped create it.
Stitchers from all over the country arrived to see their panels of work finally combined, together telling the story of Bonnie Prince Charlie’s early campaign.
It measures 104 metres and consists of more than 10 million stitches, taking the embroiderers almost 18 months to finish.
Debuted in Prestonpans, East Lothian – where the historical story is set – the tapestry will now go on tour around Scotland starting in Eriskay next weekend, before coming home to Prestonpans in September.
