Stitching the Stories of the Spey

STITCHING THE TAPESTRY OF THE HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS

This audio forms part of a series of audio interviews conducted in 2023 by Smartify as part of the Spirit of the Highlands and Islands project. Listen and discover the Spirit of the Highlands and Islands through the eyes of the stitchers of the Tapestry of the Highlands and Islands.

Join Alison, Jan, Jane, Janet and Sandra of the Strathspey Stitchers as they discuss the story of their group's panel, its legacy and the River Spey as a source of the stories of the area's extraordinary natural and cultural heritage.

[Alison] I think you were saying earlier Janet, it's part of our own history. It's something that, you know, when we're no longer here our children, our grandchildren, can look at and know there's a wee bit of our DNA on it...It's our own culture, it's our own history and we're part of it.
