Jean Gardner or later Jean Hill, was a young woman of very surpassing beauty, with a light foot and an ensnaring eye, but she may have been thirteen years older than Robert Burns with whom she was on friendly or intimate terms. A strong local tradition in Irvine links her with Robert Burns , however no contemporary written evidence records this relationship and Burns himself is not thought to have written about her, other than a disputed use of her given name as the darling Jean of Burnss Epistle to Davie, and most recent writers have considered the reference to be to Jean Armour.
