Battle of Prestonpans Tapestry is currently on display at The Prestoungrange Gothenburg: August 11th/ September 23rd

Battle of Prestonpans Tapestry is going on display in the Thomas Nelson Suite at the Prestoungrange Gothenburg....

Those who know the story of Bonnie Prince Charlie's 1745 Campaign to Prestonpans and his Victory here will know that he came ashore in July ... and so the Battle Trust has resolved once again to synchronise the exhibition of the tapestry in a time sequence ...

The story from Rome/ St Nazaire/ Eriskay/ Glenfinnan/ Perth then all the way to the gates of Edinburgh ... is on display from Thursday August 11th until Friday August 26th

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
