SIKH SCOTTISH GATHERING SEPT 2010
Bairdstravel took in the event to celebrate the 300th anniversary of a heroic battle involving a Sikh Braveheart. The event took place at Stirling` Smiths Art Gallery
The second historic Scottish-Sikh gathering will remember the life of Banda Singh Bahadur (1670-1716), the Sikh equivalent of William Wallace.
This year marks 300 years of a victory by the Sikh Braveheart in a major battle against the Mughal empire. The iconic Battle of Sirhand, which took place in 1710, marked the beginning of Sikh independence. It equates with the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
The event in Stirling had bagpipes, turban tying, historic Sikh and Scottish sword combat and traditional Sikh food. Scottish and Sikh speakers will contribute to this second historic celebration of the culture and history of the two nations.
In September 2005, Sikhs joined the Clan Wallace in the historic 700-year anniversary gathering in Lanark to celebrate the William Wallace Homecoming.
