The Great Tapestry of Scotland

Scotland's textile traditions are just as important as its highlands and lochs. You can learn all about the craft at The Great Tapestry of Scotland. Here, a community of 1,000 native weavers came together to hand-stitch a tapestry that tells the tale of Scotland, spanning centuries of local lore and history. Even more impressive: 300 miles of wool were used to make it—that's enough to stretch the entire length of Scotland. The piece is on permanent display at Scottish Borders, where there's a visitors center, café, store, and weaving workshop.
