Clarinda

Canongate Kirkyard, Edinburgh

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnes_Maclehose#Association_with_Robert_Burns


Came across this mysterious grave simply marked 'Clarinda'.
This is the burial place of Agnes Maclehose, one time acquaintance
of Scots poet Robert Burns who used the pseudonym 'Clarinda' in
order to prevent their relationship from being exposed.
Another piece of Scottish history of which I was totally unaware!
