BBC Antiques Road Show - The Victoria Cross Medal

With the help of the Colourful Heritage team, the unique British Indian Army story of the late Veteran Naik Gian Singh VC was highlighted along with his rare and precious Victoria Cross medal on the BBC Antiques Roadshow when they visited Pollock Park during summer 2023.
The medal is only 1 of 39 VC’s given out during Ww1 & 2 to the British Indian Army. It was evaluated at £250K! It is the only Victoria Cross from the British Indian Army owned by a Sikh veteran in Scotland. It is now on display at Kelvingrove art Gallery & Museum in Glasgow. See the moment the evaluation was made!

Started in 2010, the Colourful Heritage is the first charitable initiative in #Scotland aiming to preserve and celebrate the contributions of the early #SouthAsian and #Muslim communities and migrants to Scotland.
It has created the largest online repository of oral stories, established a dedicated archive and launched a unique exhibition showcasing the communities journey. Explore these amazing resources and be inspired by the positive contributions this community have made to Scotland having turned up with just a few pennies in their pocket and starting their working life as pedlars.
