Why are Muslim pilgrims visiting the grave of a Victorian aristocrat in the Scottish Highlands?
It's mid-morning in the north-west highlands of Scotland and cars are starting to trickle into a forest car park off the A890 in Glen Carron.
The religious celebration was organised by The Convert Muslim Foundation, a UK-based charity which provides support networks for people new to Islam. She died in January 1963 during a particularly cold winter and was buried on an isolated hillside on her Glencarron estate. It is not known exactly when she converted to Islam but a chance encounter with the Pope while she was visiting Rome seemed to affirm her beliefs.
"My conversion was triggered in many ways by my arrest and detention at the hands of the Taliban. That experience set me on a path which started out as an academic exercise but took me on a spiritual journey," she says.
