It's such a cool find :D

Does that mean she met the Lochiel of her day??

I think so! This would be the 25th Lochiel, grandfather of the current one (and possibly great-great-great-great grandson of the Lochiel of the '45, although I can't trace the family tree all the way back).

The fair hair and brown eyes both seem to be well-attested historically, and it is nice to see them like that instead of having the hair obscured by a wig! The spots do seem slightly questionable—it's not as though many people older than their teens don't have them, of course, but I can't find anything about how these researchers decided to put them there.
