The picture below shows how Eriskay welcomed the Tapestry in July 2010!



... that all appears in Panels #1/50; and #50 sees the Lord Provost of Edinburgh calling an urgent Council meeting to consider HRH Prince Charles' command that he surrender the capital!

.. then from September 6th to 23rd when Prestonpans will once again commemorated the Prince's Victory ... Panels #51/104 will tell the story from the Fall of Edinburgh, the Battle itself and the Celebrations at Holyrood until the Prince marched on England
