Robert Sanderson



It's a monument that catches your eye as soon as you enter West Linton graveyard from the Main Street. It's more a memorial stone than a gravestone but as it's so prominent I wanted to include it.

The text reads as follows:


Robert Sanderson

Poet and Patriot

Born in Linton, 10th

November 1836 where

he lived till he died

20th September 1902


Erected by many Friends

as a Token of Affection

and Admiration 1929


I have been unable to far to find out much information about Robert Sanderson or discover any of his poems but I'm on the case!
