Battle of Prestonpans in stitches

Busy day today, between repairing broken windows, shopping and doing circuits and bumps around Edinburgh in the little "Toot Toot". But on my tick list of things to do was a visit to St Mary's Cathedral, Palmerston Place to see the now famous Prestonpans Tapestry which is on display there till the end of August. What a remarkable piece of work, a pictorial history of the events leading up to the Battle of Prestonpans and the routing of the English led by the much sung about "Johnny Cope".




Far too much to take in during one visit so I will be back, and next time with a decent camera to try and get a few more pictures. Well, well worth a visit.
