Dovecot Studios is thrilled to present a captivating new exhibition that unveils Scotland’s hidden textile treasures. In an exciting collaboration with the National Trust for Scotland, this exhibition brings together an extraordinary collection of their embroidered textiles, many of which are being showcased for the very first time.
Visitors will have the rare chance to explore over 80 exquisite pieces, spanning 200 years of history from 1720 to 1920. The collection features everything from ornate armchairs and grand bed hangings to intricate fire screens, tablecloths, cushions, and tea cosies. Each of these finely crafted items, sourced from 18 of the National Trust for Scotland's historic properties, will be displayed alongside histories of the makers and detailed design drawings, weaving together the fascinating stories behind these textiles.
