The Great Tapestry Returns to Holyrood
Channel: The Scottish Parliament
Date: 2014-07-01

On the 15th anniversary of the official opening of the Parliament in 1999, one of Scotland's most ambitious community arts projects, the Great Tapestry of Scotland, has returned to the Scottish Parliament.

To commemorate this historic anniversary, the Presiding Officer launched a call for people from across Scotland to help stitch a new 'People's Panel'. 'The People's Panel' is a colourful commemoration of the Scottish Parliament building and its link to the Tapestry, created by artist Andrew Crummy.

Once the 'People's Panel' is complete, it will hang in the Scottish Parliament as part of the permanent art collection.

The Tapestry opens to the public today and will remain on display until Saturday 13th September.
