Heritage & Horizon: An Evening at Barclays Eagle Labs

We’ll be joined by a very special guest item: The Tartan Space Suit. Rather than being about "high-tech" gadgets, this suit serves as a quiet nod to our roots. It’s a piece that honours Scottish history and craftsmanship, reminding us that even as we look toward the stars, we carry our heritage with us.

Standing alongside it is the PAL-V, the world’s only road-legal flying car. Currently in its final flight certification stages, the PAL-V represents the next leap in travel. As their largest European partner, the FLYVE team are proud to show how this technology will support governmental and professional work across Scotland, Europe and the globe.

It’s a rare chance to see a tartan suit built for the heavens sitting next to a car built for the clouds. We’d love for you to join us for a most unusual evening.
