Hanover residents get creative for Tarves tapestry project

Four residents from a Hanover Scotland development in Tarves have contributed to a local tapestry project which depicts the community, past and present.

Margaret Sheridan, Jessie Simpson, Margot Britton and Nellie Rae, all residents at Hanover Court in Tarves, took part in the project which has been organised by Tarves Heritage Project.

Last year, the community project invited locals of all ages to take part in creating tapestries portraying the story of Tarves.

Mrs Simpson decided to depict their housing development in Tarves by weaving the Hanover Scotland logo. Other designs include:

  • Mouse by Nellie Rae
  • Mouse Stealing Wheat by Nellie Rae/Jessie Simpson
  • Prop of Ythsie by Margot Britton
  • Roadside Flowers by Margaret Sheridan
  • Work started on the Tapestries in July 2017 with volunteers from Tarves Heritage visiting residents to speak with the residents about what it was they were looking for. Residents were asked to create something that they thought was relative to Tarves and surrounding areas. The individual tapestries were then mounted and a private viewing was offered to those who had taken part in April 2018.
