Linlithgow Embroideries
Beautifully embroidered by local crafter Christine Anderson, these remarkable panels capture Linlithgow High Street as Christine remembers it from her younger years. Filled with charming details and personal memories, they offer a fascinating glimpse of how much the High Street has changed over time. You'll find the embroideries in the corridor just outside the museum — be sure not to miss them on your visit!
