Bessie Craigmyle
Bessie Craigmyle (1863–1933) was a Scottish poet who lived in Aberdeen.
Bessie was the daughter of an elderly schoolmaster, who retired when she was still a child. He was able to devote his energies to her education, providing an extensive library and a number of greenhouses in the family home for her use.[1]
After qualifying as school teacher, she taught in the Dr Williams School, Dolgellau,[1] which was a pioneering secondary school for girls.[2]
