Lonely Planet review

The kirkyard of this 17th-century church contains the graves of several famous characters, including economist and author of The Wealth of Nations , Adam Smith (1723-90), Agnes MacLehose (the 'Clarinda' of Robert Burns' love poems), and the 18th-century poet Robert Fergusson (1750-74). Robert Burns, a fan of Fergusson, paid for his gravestone and penned the epitaph.
