HEAD stitcher Dorie Wilkie casts an admiring glance over The Battle of Prestonpans Tapestry as it is announced it will be sent to France next autumn to hang alongside the world-famous tapestry at Bayeux.

Ms Wilkie was in charge of the team behind the piece, which shows the 1745 journey of Bonnie Prince Charlie from Eriskay to Prestonpans. The invitation came after Bayeux Councillor Lydie Poullet saw the tapestry at St Mary's Cathedral last summer. Picture: Steve Cox
