"The place of the poet's residence is still represented by the rude walls of his cottage and school-house, which are preserved with a commendable reverence for genius and worth, They are just a park breadth North of the Kirkyard: and in their present roofless condition have more the appearance of sheep bughts than that of once inhabited tenements".
