Amazing Exhibition of Community, History & Creativity
The Great Tapestry of Scotland的点评
点评:As we were visiting The Scottish Borders for me to attend a craft workshop, we decided to make it a weekend trip. This means hubby has a day to spend “doing his own thing”. Having booked our accommodation/location very carefully I had not mentioned that I had discovered TGToS was nearby - my intention was that we would visit together on the following day before heading back home.
On workshop day as hubby suddenly asked what he could do for the day. I suggested hiring a bicycle or undertaking a guided walk. Plus a few historic sites and as a throwaway comment “there’s a tapestry exhibition opposite our accommodation”.
When collecting me 6 hours later he surprised me by saying he had spent the whole afternoon closely examining said Tapestry (with a magnifying glass - which are freely available to borrow for closer examination of the stitches} and that he was “blown away” by the experience!
So much so we visited together the following day!
The Great Tapestry of Scotland is definitely something which we would both recommend visiting more than once.
Also the staff were brilliant, helpful & knowledgeable. And the café food & drink well priced with yummy cake.
翻译:由于我要去苏格兰边境参加一个工艺工作坊,所以我们决定周末出行。这意味着老公可以花一天时间“做自己的事情”。我们仔细预订了住宿和地点,却没提我发现TGToS就在附近——我打算第二天一起去参观,然后再回家。
工作坊那天,老公突然问我今天可以做什么。我建议租辆自行车或者参加带导游的徒步旅行。此外,我还参观了一些历史遗迹,还顺便说了一句:“我们住的地方对面有个挂毯展。”
六个小时后,他来接我,让我大吃一惊。他说他花了一整个下午仔细检查那幅挂毯(用放大镜——可以免费借用,以便仔细检查针脚),而且他完全被震撼了!
以至于第二天我们一起去了!
苏格兰挂毯绝对值得我们推荐多次参观。
此外,工作人员非常出色、乐于助人且知识渊博。咖啡馆的食物和饮料价格合理,还有美味的蛋糕。
