Unicorn Tapestries

Hi Everyone, hope all's well with you in these difficult times. I was trawling though some photos the other day and came across these from a trip to Scotland in April 2018 - very different times and very different weather - it was snowing and absolutely freezing! Anyway, I had been to Stirling Castle several years before and seen the amazing work of the weavers reproducing the Unicorn Tapestries; when we went back in 2018 they had been completed and hung in the Castle. Here are a few of the MANY pictures I took. Enjoy! Stay safe.

This first picture is actually a picture of a picture, believe it or not, but is the process I saw the first time I went to Stirling while the tapestries were being woven.
