Battle of Prestonpans Tapestry 1745

Jump to comments

Back for a second year, by popular demand! The Battle of Prestonpans Tapestry is a tribute to the Jacobite rising of 1745, led by Bonnie Prince Charlie, and to its 200 volunteer embroiderers. It is the product of over 25,000 hours of work and research and contains over 10m stitches. Each of its 104 panels depicts a scene from the Prince's early campaign, from his landing on Eriskay to his victory at the Battle of Prestonpans. Inspiration for this community project came from the Bayeux Tapestry. All ages.
