Hi, I went to Golspie Heritage Society yesterday (13 Oct 21) and met with John Melville (Chairman of the Golspie Heritage society) and he told us that he fixed the crack in the gravestone of Ram Bhopal (who used to live in at the ‘Mound’) and that this is just a gravestone and he is not actually buried there!
Apparently he died in Inverness and is buried there but his gravestone was placed next to fellow countrymen even though of different faiths. Comment left on 14 October 2021 at 10:45 by Saqib Razzaq
