Collection: St. Margaret of Scotland

ARTIST: Brenda Nippert

ARTWORK NARRATIVE:

Saint Margaret was an incredibly pious Roman Catholic. One of her most significant achievements was to establish a crossing point on the Firth of Forth for pilgrims on their way to St Andrew's Cathedral. Boats worked the “Queen's Ferry” from the 11th century all the way through to 1964, when the Forth Road Bridge was opened.

Her feast day is November 16.
