Additional information: 

Shauna McMullan's artwork 'Travelling the Distance' was created for the Scottish Parliament in 2004. From the Parliament website:

"This artwork is a collection of 100 handwritten sentences made of porcelain. The sentences were collected by the artist on a journey around Scotland to meet 100 women. Each of the 100 women was asked to write something about a woman they felt had made a significant contribution to life, culture or democracy in Scotland. The artist asked each woman to refer her to another woman, which was the basis for the artist's journey until she reached the 100th woman."
