There are three trails in the app:
A Short History of Scotland
Narrated by Alistair Moffat, writer of the tapestry’s narrative, this trail takes visitors through key moments in Scotland’s history focussing on 30 of the 160 tapestry panels.
QR codes along the trail enable visitors to access rich soundscapes and see some panels in more detail.
Stitchers’ Stories
This tour allows the visitor to hear some of the stories behind the panels, the details that the stitchers incorporated and their inspirations for doing so.
Stitch Seekers
A fun children’s trail encouraging them to look closely and scan the tapestry panels to find hidden objects stitched in them.. When they’ve collected all the objects, they can use them to create and share their own tapestry.
