The Maharajah and Loch Kennard

Recently, when on a wee adventure in Perthshire, I stopped in Kenmore for an ice-cream. I parked by the old church where I came across this intriguing tombstone:

This tombstone remembers the son of Mharajah Duleep  Singh. Sadly this child died in infancy as a result of premature birth. He was brief, 1 day life, was in Loch Kennard Lodge:

This was the young mum, Bamba, the Maharanee:

This was the Lodge at Loch Kennard. It was later demolished:
