<div>SIKHS AND Scots will gather at Kenmore tomorrow to remember a young Indian prince and his infant son, who is buried in the village churchyard, writes Billy Briggs.
In a tiny graveyard in Perthshire tomorrow, a piper will play a lament and the gathered crowd will pay homage to an infant Indian prince who died more than 150 years ago. For the first time in its history, the parish church of Kenmore will be the focus of an international pilgrimage and those paying their respects will include Sikhs from around the world and members of a famous Highland clan. The following story is somewhat remarkable as the child buried in Kenmore churchyard was heir to an Indian kingdom and the son of the last Maharajah of the Sikh Empire who became famous throughout Scotland as the Black Prince of Perthshire.
