There is a quite similar story, the lovers of Teruel.Isabel and Diego come from 2 different wealthy families and fall in love. Diego's family has fallen on hard times and so he agrees with Isabel's father to leave and try to make his fortune, and come back after 5 years. If he manages to regain his wealth the 2 lovers will wed.During those 5 years Isabel's father tried to convince her to marry someone else, but she denied by saying that God willed her to be a virgin till she turns 20.Her father did not press her more because he loved her too much.On the day of the 5 years'close her father married her to Don Pedro, since nothing was heard from Diego.That night, Diego sneaked into the bedroom of Isabel and her husband and gently awoke her. Apparently, Diego had not counted the day in which he petitioned Isabel's father whereas Isabel's family had.He pleaded to her, "Kiss me for I am dying" and she refused, saying "God would not wish me to deceive my husband.For the love of Christ, I beg you to find another, and forget about me. If our love could not please God, then neither should it please me." He begged her one last time, saying that he was dying and wished for a final kiss. But still she refused. Upon hearing this Diego could not bear the separation between himself and his love, and with a sigh he died on the feet of his beloved Isabel. When she realized that he died, she shivered. She woke her husband, telling him that his snoring scared her and she wished to hear a story. And he did, and in return she told him her own story. She told him of Diego and how he lay dead beside the bed.
"Oh, you wretched! Why did you not kiss him?"
"To not deceive my husband." She replied.
"Of course," he groaned. "You are a woman worthy of praise."
They agreed on secretly burying him in the local church because the husband feared that he would be blamed for his death. The next day, during the funeral for Diego Marcilla, Isabel showed up dressed in her wedding dress. She proceeded to walk to the front of the church and place a kiss on the man whom she had refused but in doing so Isabel died, falling prostrate on the body of the man whom she loved.
Today their tombs lie side by side and the figures that represent them seem to want to hold each others' hand, but finally they cannot even touch it, because Isabel was married to another man.

There are a lot similarities, but of course there is no way that the story is the same, because the myth of Anachie Gordon and Jeannie is located in Scotland and the lovers of Teruel are located in Spain. However, we can see that the people of that era create such stories easily, and the trobadours(singers of love songs at 1100-1350) even more easily, because the need to believe in pure love is great at a time when most marriages where aimed to gaining power and wealth.
