Scott’s Bungalow, Seringapatam, Colonial bungalow in Seringapatam, India

Scott's Bungalow stands on the banks of the Cauvery River, half a mile from the Mysore Gate, surrounded by local vegetation and trees.

Colonel Scott of the Madras Army resided in this bungalow during the Siege of Seringapatam in 1799, supervising a gun factory in Ganjam afterward.

Walter Yeldham's 1875 poem The Deserted Bungalow narrates the story of Colonel Scott and the events that occurred at this residence.

The bungalow remains accessible to visitors from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily, with different entry fees based on nationality and age groups.

The residence contained a large ivory bed that belonged to Tippu Sultan, as documented by Constance Parsons during her 1931 visit.
