Torryburn Lassies
Torryburn is a village in Fife, not far from Culross, on the Firth of Forth.
One lass born in Torryburn was Alison Cunningham, “Cummy”, the strong-willed, staunchly Calvinist nurse to the young Robert Louis Stevenson, “my laddie”. In 1885, Stevenson remembered the nurse who hat exerted such a profound influence upon him by dedicating to her A Child’s Garden of Verses.
