The holiday issue of popular magazine, Scottish Field carries a feature four-star review of Dacre’s War by Rosemary Goring. On sale now, the magazine describes the novel as ‘a powerful sequel to her critically acclaimed debut After Flodden… brilliantly composed…This novel is clearly a labour of love, meticulously researched and giving the impression that the tale is known so well to the author that it is a story told, and not a story made-up.’
Members of the public are to be given a chance to make a stitch on new welcome panels for the Great Tapestry of Scotland before it moves to its new, purpose built home in Galashiels.
