Tour Scotland Video Parish Church And Graveyard Kenmore Highland Perthshire

Tour Scotland travel video of the Parish Church, graveyard and gravestones on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and small group trip to Kenmore, Highland, Perthshire, Scotland. There was a church first built at Kenmore in 1579, replacing the pre Reformation church at Inchadney, though the Inchadney church, burial ground and manse were still used until 1760 when the burial ground was closed, and a new Manse was built on the glebe, across Loch Tay from the church. Much of what can be seen of the building at present dates to about 1760, when the 3rd Earl of Breadalbane built a model village at Kenmore, and reconstructed the church. The church was further renovated in 1871, and in 1924, when the congregations of the Free and Established Churches were in the process of uniting, both congregations were involved in again renovating the church and rebuilding the chancel. The graveyard drops away to Loch Tay on its southern and western sides and the most striking views of it are from the road along the south side of the loch. One of the the gravestones is the grave of the son of Maharaja Duleep Singh. The boy, was just one day old when he died. Maharaja Duleep Singh was the last king of undivided Punjab. Removed from his homeland to Britain at the young age of 13 years, Duleep Singh was famous as the Black Prince of Perthshire throughout all of Scotland. Before he was removed from his homeland he was he was the ruler of vast kingdom of Punjab that included present day Multan, Peshawar, North-West Frontier Province and FATA in Pakistan, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and parts of Tibet, and China
