The brainchild of bestselling author Alexander McCall Smith,
historian Alistair Moffat and artist Andrew Crummy, the Great
Tapestry of Scotland is an outstanding celebration of 420 million
years of Scottish history and achievement. Involving a thousand
stitchers who worked on 165 separate panels, the tapestry is one of
the biggest community arts projects ever to have been conceived in
Scotland. In this book, specifically designed for younger readers,
bestselling children's author Allan Burnett tells the story of
Scotland through the Tapestry itself - a thing of wonder, full of
magic and adventures and mysteries. In addition to opening windows
into key moments in history and introducing some of the most
significant people who have shaped the nation, the book also
celebrates the lives of ordinary Scotsmen and women over the ages.
From saints, soldiers and Vikings to kings and queens, Arctic
whalers and footballers, this is an amazing journey through the
story of Scotland.
