Description

External Affairs Minister Humza Yousaf today visited the Scottish Diaspora Tapestry the day before it opens to the public.

Mr Yousaf met stitchers from all over the world who have contributed to the tapestry, as well as artist Andrew Crummy (above), as they made the final preparations ahead of opening to the public at Prestonpans Community Centre tomorrow (31 May).

Mr Yousaf said:

“I saw the early stitching of some of these beautiful panels when I was visiting India and Pakistan in 2013. To see them completed now, alongside the tales from so many other countries Scots have influenced is a double inspiration – not only for embroiderers who visit but also for what we Scots today can and maybe should seek to achieve ourselves. Its Scottish touring exhibitions will make an outstanding artistic contribution to our Homecoming Scotland 2014 Programme.

“We have been delighted in Government to give our wholehearted support to Andrew Crummy and his team and help fund this project from its very beginnings in 2011. It is an imaginative and powerful way to strengthen and develop our international links across the diaspora, and we encourage everyone who can to take the chance to see the tapestry as it tours Scotland this year.”
