===Castle Menzies===

On his return from [[Continental Europe]] in 1855 he was given an annual pension of £25,000 a year<ref>{{Cite web|title=Sophia Duleep Singh|url=https://www.hrp.org.uk/hampton-court-palace/history-and-stories/sophia-duleep-singh/|access-date=2021-05-22|website=Historic Royal Palaces|language=en-GB}}</ref> (approximately £{{Inflation|UK|25000|1855|r=-5|fmt=}} in today's value) provided he "remain obedient to the British Government," and was officially under ward of Sir John Spencer Login and Lady Login, who leased [[Castle Menzies]] in [[Perthshire]], Scotland, for him. He spent the rest of his teens there, but at 19 he demanded to be in charge of his household. Eventually, he was given this and an increase in his annual pension.

In 1859 [[James Oliphant|Lt Col James Oliphant]] was installed as Equerry to the Maharaja at the recommendation of Sir John Login. Oliphant was to be a possible replacement should anything happen to the Maharaja's most trusted friend Sir John Login (who did indeed die four years later in 1863).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://archive.org/details/sirjohnloginand00logigoog|title=Sir John Login and Duleep Singh|first=Lena Campbell|last=Login|date=23 November 1970|publisher=[Patiala] Languages Dept., Punjab|accessdate=23 November 2023|via=Internet Archive}}</ref>
