Families and friends travelled from Newcastle to visit the National Gallery of Scotland. Here a group is photographed in front of 'The Battle of Pollilur', an Indian copy on paper, c. 1840, of the mural which Tipu had painted on the walls of his Darya Daulat palace, Seringapatam, to celebrate his victory over the British in 1780.
