'The Landing of George IV at Leith 15th August 1822' by Robert Carse hangs in the Council Chamber at Leith as a reminder of an important event in the burgh's history. The reflection (not to mention the photographer) hardly does justice to the painting, but this photograph at least gives an impression of the large canvas and its subject.
