T heexhibition, which is free to visit (with donations welcomed), focuses on the battle of Prestonpans, a critical Jacobite conflict in 1745 which left a historical and cultural legacy that is still felt today. A programme of supporting exhibitions will address a variety of themes, as well as local history topics. The exhibition texts will be available in both English and Gaelic.
The Battle of Prestonpans Jacobite Museum is based at the town hall building on the High Street and has been renovated to showcase more of its original Victorian features. The centerpiece is an eight-foot diorama of the battlefield as it looked back in 1745, setting the fighting amongst landmarks that can still be seen today. The museum will also display sections of the famous 105-metre-long Prestonpans tapestry, which will be changed every five months to advance the story.
