After it came a long, long train of silent mourners, as is customary in Scotch funerals.

Such a procession had not been witnessed for centuries in all this country-side.

Ere they left the Castle the funeral prayer was offered up by Mr.Cardross, the last time the good old minister's voice was ever heard publicly in his own parish, and at the head of the coffin walked, as chief mourner, Cardross Bruce-Montgomerie, the earl's adopted son.
And so, laid beside his father and mother, they left him to his rest.
According to his own wish, his grave bears this inscription, carved upon a plain upright stone, which--also by his particular request-- stands facing the Manse windows: Charles Edward Stuart Montgomerie, THE LAST EARL OF CAIRNFORTH, Died---- Aged 43 Years.
