Loretto School TapestryThe 104 metre Prestonpans Tapestry tells the story of Bonnie Prince Charlie's journey from France to victory at Prestonpans in 1745. It celebrates the enduring triumph of youthful hope and ambition.


The tapestry is the longest in the world and panel 92 shows The Prince staying overnight at Pinkie House on 21st/22nd September 1745.
