Harris Tapestry
Leverhulme Community Hub is proud to be the new home of the Harris Tapestry. Available to view whenever the Hub is open.
The Harris Tapestry was a project inspired and lead by Gillian Scott-Forrest. The aim was to celebrate the recent history of Harris by creating a series of tapestries based on different areas of Harris and looking at different historical themes. All the work was completed by residents of Harris – usually from each of the regions they were working on.
There are nine panels – one giving an overview of Harris and the others looking at Tarbert and Scalpay, the golden road, the Bays, Rodel and Leverburgh, Northton, the West Side and down to Hushinish.
