圣十字架宫28

I think the fact that tapestries are still here for us to enjoy, this tapestry is 400 years old.

And it bearing in mind how much it's gone through, it's been cleaned, it's been repaired,

but it's still here, and we're lucky enough to be so close to it

and even just to walk around Holyroodhouse and just to be able to see these tapestries in 400 years.

What will they have seen?

So the next time you look at a tapestry, you must remember all this.

I'll think of you, Margaret, I promise.

Under Charles II, the most impressive celebration of regal history was the Great Gallery.

Commissioned all in one go from the Dutch artist Jacob de Wet,

the portraits are meant to show every Scottish monarch from the beginning of time.
