Lord Kinedder

Lord Kinedder was a friend of Sir Walter Scott and a man of noble character. Unfortunately, soon after the death of his wife, someone chose to slander this sensitive man with a false charge of an illicit affair with a neighbor's wife. Even though the accusation was without foundation, it gravely affected this man and he died shortly thereafter. Sadly, his tombstone was erected without his name and at this time cannot be found. Edinburgh University and the National Library of Scotland own the few copies of books and manuscripts which defend this man's character.
