Mary MacPherson - Portree, Scotland - Dead Poets' Society Memorials on Waymarking.com

"The best known Gaelic poet of the era [19th century] was Màiri Mhòr nan Óran (Mary MacPherson, 1821–98), whose verse was criticised for a lack of intellectual weight, but which embodies the spirit of the land agitation of the 1870s and 1880s and whose evocation of place and mood has made her among the most enduring Gaelic poets."
