Amazing Stitching!! Offensively wrong history!
The Great Tapestry of Scotland的点评
点评：I visited the Great Tapestry of Scotland and was absolutely blown away by the amazing and intricate stitching!!
However, the history interpretation was awful. I watch the small video of Alastair Moffat the Historian responsible for the interpretation where he claimed to want to write a "Peoples history of Scotland". Besides completely ignoring all modern historiography - for example stating that the Battle of Dunnichan was at For for when almost all historians would now place it at Badenoch - there are severe factual errors - less than 1% of Scots speaking Gaelic or saying that old Welsh was Scotland original native tongue - and omissions to any people's history.
There is no mention of The Scottish political martyrs of the 1790s, no mention of the 1820 insurrection, no mention of Red Clydeside all events vital to any people's history of Scotland. Furthermore what little mention there is of India or African is at best glossing over the awfulness of Colonialism and at worst actively obscuring these crimes.
Moffat clearly used this opportunity to push his own discredited ideas of history and agenda.
Go for the Wonderful Tapestries, admire and appreciate the work, craft and beauty put into them. But don't read the interpretation panels, some are passable many are factually wrong or bordering on offensive in their omissions or wording.

翻译：我参观了苏格兰大挂毯，被其令人惊叹的复杂缝线所震撼！！
然而，历史解释很糟糕。我观看了负责解释的历史学家 Alastair Moffat 的一段小视频，他声称想要写一部“苏格兰人民的历史”。除了完全忽略所有现代史学——例如，声称 Dunnichan 战役发生在 For for，而现在几乎所有历史学家都认为该战役发生在 Badenoch——还有严重的事实错误——不到 1% 的苏格兰人说盖尔语或说古威尔士语是苏格兰的原始母语——并且遗漏了任何人民的历史。
没有提到 1790 年代的苏格兰政治烈士，没有提到 1820 年的起义，没有提到 Red Clydeside，所有对苏格兰人民历史至关重要的事件。此外，书中对印度或非洲的少许提及，充其量只是掩盖殖民主义的可怕之处，最坏的情况则是积极掩盖这些罪行。
莫法特显然利用这个机会来推广他自己不可信的历史和议程。
去欣赏精美的挂毯，欣赏并欣赏其中的工艺、手艺和美感。但不要阅读解释面板，有些还过得去，但很多都是事实错误，或者在遗漏或措辞上近乎冒犯。
