FIVE GRAVES IN KIRKOSWALD CEMETERY ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE MEMORY OF BURNS.

A-The grave of Agnes Brown, the grandmother of Burns--mother of his mother-whose maiden name was Agnes Renie.

B-the grave of Douglas Graham-Tam O'Shanter."

Kept in the time when Burns attended school in Kirkoswald, by Jean Kennedy, "Kirkton Jean," and her sister. They were both highly respectable

women.

Mrs. Graham, the wife of "Tam O'Shanter." told him, when scolding him for his habit of drinking: "That at the Lord's House even on Sunday Thou drank wi' Kirkton Jean till Monday."

Burns, when seventeen years of age, was sent to the parish school in Kirkoswald to study mensuration and surveying. Hugh Roger was the teacher at the time.
