P.E.I.'s Scottish Connection Celebrated in Worldwide Art Effort

From CBC PEI:

One of the world's largest community art projects is coming to P.E.I. in October, and part of it was made right here.

It's a gigantic tapestry made up of hundreds of panels, and five of the panels tell stories about this province, sewn by Island stitchers.

That's because it's all about Scotland, and the Scottish people spread around the world.

It's called the Scottish Diaspora Tapestry, the idea of a heritage group in Scotland who wanted to celebrate the influence of their country worldwide.

...The local Scottish groups were able to pick the stories they wanted to tell, and that included five from P.E.I.

They are the landing of the Glenalladale Settlers in 1772, one depicting the building of a pioneer's first house, a panel to honour the Scots involved in Confederation, one titled Keep The Faith, recognizing 300 Catholic Highlanders who arrived in 1772, and a final one called The Landing.
