028 | "About the middle of the churchyard there is a more humble Grave, but one possessed of a certain romantic interest, that of the heroine of the pathetic scotch ballad called "Tiftie's Bonnie Annie". The original tombstone having become decayed, Mr Gordon of Fyvie, a few years ago, caused a new one to be placed upon it, A fac-simile in every respect. The name of the unfortunate damsel, the story of whose love is so finely told in the ballad, was Agnes Smith. The common pronunciation of the Christian name was Nannie, which in the ballad is farther metamorphosed into Annie. On one of the turrets of Fyvie Castle there is a stone figure of the renowned trumpeter sounding his horn towards Mill of Tiftie." Statistical Account. |
