The Great Troon Wall Hanging
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates the congregation of St Ninian’s Episcopal Church and the wider community of Troon on creating the 7m x 3m tapestry, Great Troon Wall Hanging, which is on display at the church; notes that it depicts highlights of the church's and the town's history, particularly the life of St Ninian, and land and seascapes of the area, using sophisticated embroidery techniques in a style that has been inspired by the tent makers of Cairo, the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, and fabric panels at Dundonald Church Hall, the Ayrshire Central Breast Screening Unit and Troon Old Parish Church, and commends the efforts and skills of the many volunteers over the four-year period that it has taken to complete this piece of art.
