| Duncan Ban MacIntyre (1724-1812),
one of the most celebrated Gaelic poets – author
of "In Praise of Ben Dorain" and "The
Final Farewell to the Bens" – died in Edinburgh
and was buried in the churchyard of Greyfriars Tolbooth
& Highland Kirk, the only church in Edinburgh where
a Gaelic service is still held every Sunday.
If you wish to support the new initiative of the Greyfriars
Kirkyard Trust to restore Ducan Ban's dilapidated gravestone
(which will cost about £3,000), send a cheque
to Greyfriars Kirkyard Trust, 1 Clarendon Crescent,
Edinburgh EH4 1PT, marked 'For Duncan Ban'.
The GKT is a registered charity and welcomes Gift Aid
