He was born in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, about 12 miles north of Edinburgh across the Firth of Forth, and is buried just off the Royal Mile in Edinburgh itself. Although there is no memorial to Adam Smith in Edinburgh, aside from his gravestone, one has been proposed, which would look roughly like this:
My birthday was just two days—and a few centuries—later. I expect no monuments in Edinburgh.
