During the 18th century, Robert Fergusson, the Scottish poet, regularly frequented Closes around Mary King's Close. Fergusson was one of the main inspirations for a more famous poet, Robert Burns! After Fergusson's death in 1774, he was buried in an unmarked grave in Canongate Kirkyard. Robert Burns privately commissioned and paid for a memorial headstone. He designed it himself and had it installed in 1789. Tonight, we are celebrating poetry and Scottish whisky during our Burns Night tour. 🥃 |
