#Onthisday in 1587, the final curtain fell on the captivating life of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots. She died at just 44, and had been a queen since she was just 6 days old. In the shadow of Fotheringhay Castle, and after three swings of the executioners axe, Mary was beheaded.

Well deserved @AndrewCrummy 🥰
Great Tapestry of Scotland designer Andrew Crummy receives the Fletcher of Saltoun Award for Public Life. Andrew's vision in design is groundbreaking and a real departure from the traditional.
Wonderful art workshop with St Mary’s School, Melrose with @AndrewCrummy last week. Pupils loved learning from the master artist of the Tapestry who inspired them all to produce their own designs. A wonderful time was had by all.
We were delighted to see that the artist behind the Tapestry @AndrewCrummy, receive the Fletcher of Saltoun Award for Public Life today from the @Saltire_Society
