Lonely Planet review for Canongate Kirk

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.
