Barker Langham Sponsor The Prestonpans Tapestry

Following work with the Battle of Prestonpans Heritage Trust to help promote their vision and develop funding, Barker Langham have now sponsored the major community arts project, The Prestonpans Tapestry. The Tapestry charts Bonnie Prince Charlie’s journey from South Uist to the Battle of Prestonpans in 1745. It is made up of 103 panels created by 200 volunteers from around the world, who followed a design by artist Andrew Crummy, who was born in Prestonpans.

From July 2010 the Tapestry has toured Scotland in the footsteps of the Jacobite army of 1745, visiting communities involved in the creation of the Tapestry and associated with  events in its story. For further information and upcoming dates on the tour please visit the Prestonpans Tapestry website, where you can also find images of the whole Tapestry.

Barker Langham are proud to sponsor this important celebration of Scottish culture and history.
