Don't miss this: The Great Tapestry of Scotland.
The Great Tapestry of Scotland的点评
点评：My husband and I cycled from St. Albans in Edinburgh in May and, t.b.h., when we struck out we had no idea that The Great Tapestry of Scotland even existed, my husband just happened to see it on a map the night before we would be passing through Galashiels.
Am I ever glad he did.
That ambitious and highly successful project tells 12,000 years of Scottish history in one hundred and sixty embroidered panels on linen, each about one metre square. Each panel took about 500 hours to stitch, involving thousands of volunteers, mostly female, from all over Scotland. Each includes a historical description and a list of the its “stitchers” who were provided with the linen, and the wool in a prescribe set of colours or “palette”, giving the whole tapestry a very cohesive look.
You could describe the project as “like Bayeux, but much bigger, and, significantly, the stitchers are no longer anonymous, and, in fact, were encouraged to add their own individual flourishes in the four inch borders of each panel, as well as to choose the types of stitches they employed”.
Additionally, the directors of the project made sure that the stitchers of specific events were from the specific geographic region of the event being described, and, additionally, since they knew their areas well, they were able to provide additional details that were then stitched into their panels.
It was stitched in 200 separate locations in Scotland.
The entire tapestry is 143 metres long, and has a permanent home in a beautiful, light-filled (with UV preventative blinds) custom-designed building. It was completed in about three years, finishing in 2013.
This tapestry was one of the most moving pieces of art I saw on our entire trip. The community building, and the excellence and passion in The Great Tapestry of Scotland were inspiring. Don’t miss it.

翻译：五月份，我和丈夫骑自行车从爱丁堡的圣奥尔本斯出发。说实话，出发前我们根本不知道苏格兰大挂毯的存在。我丈夫只是在途经加拉希尔斯的前一天晚上，碰巧在地图上看到了它。
我真是太庆幸他发现了它。
这项雄心勃勃且非常成功的工程，用一百六十幅亚麻布刺绣画，讲述了苏格兰一万两千年的历史。每幅画大约一平方米。每幅画的缝制耗时约五百小时，由来自苏格兰各地的数千名志愿者（其中大部分是女性）共同完成。每幅画都附有历史描述和“刺绣者”名单。刺绣者们获得了亚麻布和指定颜色的羊毛线，使整幅挂毯呈现出浑然一体的视觉效果。
你可以把这个项目描述为“类似巴约挂毯，但规模更大，而且更重要的是，刺绣者不再匿名，事实上，他们被鼓励在每幅挂毯的四英寸边框上添加自己的个性化装饰，并选择他们使用的针法”。
此外，项目负责人确保特定事件的刺绣者来自该事件所描述的特定地理区域。而且，由于他们对各自的地区非常了解，他们能够提供更多细节，这些细节随后被缝入他们的挂毯中。
这幅挂毯在苏格兰的200个不同地点完成。
整幅挂毯长143米，永久保存在一座美丽、采光充足（配有防紫外线百叶窗）的定制建筑中。它历时约三年完成，于2013年竣工。
这幅挂毯是我在整个旅程中看到的最令人感动的艺术作品之一。苏格兰大挂毯所展现的社区凝聚力、精湛技艺和满腔热情都令人敬佩。千万别错过。
