Anne Grant often styled Mrs Anne Grant of Laggan (21 February 1755 – 7 November 1838) was a Scottish poet and author best known for her collection of mostly biographical poems Memoirs of an American Lady as well as her earlier work Letters from the Mountains. She personally exemplified the Scottish Highlands attributes which she admired: "virtuous and dignified poverty, elegance of sentiment that lives in the heart and conduct, and subsists independent of local and transitory modes." In worldly wisdom, in literature, and in piety, her early attainments were admirable, and they were in later life well sustained, if not augmented. Her reading seems to have been extensive, but desultory. For doing this, she had singular advantages in her personal intercourse with the Edinburgh and Quarterly Reviewers, and in her constant habit of retailing her own opinions and their judgments in frequent conversations with other associates, and in numerous letters to her friends, so that the same subject, being set before her mind in several different lights of investigation in receiving, and of explanation in imparting it, became perfectly familiar, and took its durable place in her retentive memory. (en) Anne Grant (Taufname Anne MacVicar; * 21. Februar 1755 in Glasgow; † 7. November 1838 in Edinburgh) war eine schottische Schriftstellerin. Sie verbrachte ihre Kindheit in den englischen Kolonien in Nordamerika, kehrte 1768 mit ihrem Vater nach Schottland zurück und heiratete 1779 einen Geistlichen. Nach dem Tod ihres Gatten (1801) begann sie eine literarische Karriere. Bekannt wurde sie vor allem als Verfasserin von Gedichten (1803), das Leben im schottischen Bergland illustrierenden Briefen (Letters from the Mountains, 1806) sowie autobiographischen Jugenderinnerungen (Memoirs of an American Lady, 1808).
