Iconic painting, The Thin Red Line, has been re-glazed before being returned to display this week at the National War Museum in Edinburgh Castle.

Robert Gibb’s celebrated 1881 painting is one of the best known of all Scottish historical paintings, and is considered the classic representation of Scottish military heroism.

It depicts the 93rd Highlanders halting a Russian cavalry charge at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War in 1854.
