This youth-led project explored the life of the Maharaja Duleep Singh - a child Maharaja who was exiled to Perthshire, Scotland aged 15. He is considered to have been the first Sikh in Scotland. This story is well-known among Sikhs in Scotland; the project allowed young Sikhs to explore the history of Duleep Singh, and consider how his legacy has impacted Scotland today.

The project involved contemporary artists, The Singh Twins, running a range of workshop sessions. Young participants worked with experts to create jewellery and portrait photographs which were showcased at an exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland and later at the Tramway. The project also produced four short films, including Young, Scottish and Sikh which featured young Sikh people exploring what it means to be a Sikh in Scotland.

To celebrate the end of the project, participants organised an event at the National Museum of Scotland where guests were are able to watch the short film and view the exhibition.
