Agnes Maclehose was a poet and letter-writer who moved to Edinburgh where she met Robert Burns (1759-1796) at a tea party in 1787. The letters they wrote to each other as 'Clarinda' and 'Sylvander' are mentioned in the inventory (transcript and image below). Many of Burns' songs and poems were dedicated to her. 'Ae Fond Kiss' was sent by the poet as a parting gift in the winter of 1791. She left for Jamaica in an abortive attempt at rapprochement with her husband but returned to Edinburgh, where she later died and is buried in the Canongate Kirkyard. Agnes Craig was born on April 26, 1758, the daughter of Andrew Craig, surgeon, and Christian McLaurin. The entry in the Old Parish Register (OPR) for Glasgow includes two witnesses, William Craig and John Gillies, ministers. Agnes Craig married James McLhose, a writer in Glasgow on July 1, 1776. The entry in the OPR for Glasgow shows she was residing there and that they were regularly married. They separated in 1780 due to his ill-treatment of her. Agnes Craig, the widow of Mr. McIlhose, died on October 23, 1841. There are two entries related to her death in the OPR for Canongate. The first in volume 34 gives the place of death as 14 Calton Place, Edinburgh, the date of burial as 27 October, and the place as the north-east corner of Lord Craig's tomb, number 28, East Ground. She was 82 and the cause of death is given as old age. SOURCE https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/research/learning/hall-of-fame/hall-of-fame-a-z/maclehose-agnes
