Dovecot Workshop, Corstorphine, Edinburgh, which is the heart of tapestry weaving in Scotland, was opened in 1912 by the then Marquess of Bute. In this film, Archie Brennan, Director of Weaving, shows the tapestry commissioned by the Scottish Arts Council to hang in their committee room. The weavers are seen working on the tapestry which, measuring 18 1/2 ft by 12ft, is the largest so far woven. [synopsis from SCFL catalogue]
