Kirk Lane Cemetery has been in existence since 1771. The gravestone of Betty Burns, daughter of Robert Burns can be found in this graveyard.
She married John Thomson who had been a soldier, then was a handloom weaver in Pollokshaws. They are reputed to have lived in Shawlands in a building that stood between Abbot Street and the present day Minard Road, but latterly lived in Pollokshaws.
Betty Burns was born in 1790, and when she died in 1873 she was buried in the Old Vennel graveyard (as it was then known) where her tombstone can be seen. She had a daughter, Margaret, who married David Wingate a Pollokshaws weaver and poet of some local fame.
