Scottish Diaspora Tapestry

Scottish Diaspora Tapestry .....There is an amazing tapestry exhibition on in Parliament in the grand Westminster Hall we really were not supposed to take photos just in the early week of the incident last week...... but could not resist this Indian henna themed one .... It is a Global tapestry project where people from around the world have done needlework to denote their links to Scotland ..... it is breathtakingly beautiful ...... and enjoyed talking with the Scottish lasses looking after this exhibition.....

"Scots have migrated all over the world and have often had a profound impact on the areas where they settled. This project brought together stories from more than such communities, documenting their Scottish connections in more than 300 embroidered panels. It is a remarkable and heart-felt homage to the determination, courage and achievement of Scottish migrants and their descendants across the centuries."
