Please find attached detail regarding The Great Tapestry of Scotland:
The origins of Coats can be traced to the families that created the weaving and textile industries of Paisley, Scotland during the late 18th century. Above you can see a link to the Coats heritage page on their website and the very first line of that page on the website of their massive global company.
We are very keen that the children of the West of Scotland come to see The Great Tapestry of Scotland – all that it offers in depicting the amazing history of Scotland. To understand the community effort to create it, the friendships it created. Also to understand that the very wool that the entire tapestry is sewn with was bought from a Coats company – Coats started in Paisley. The Atrium that will house the Tapestry in its entirety is in one of the original mill buildings – Anchor Mill.Their heritage is far-reaching and important. There are 160 panels of history.
