Robert Burns Birthplace Museum
|
- Burns Cottage, birthplace of Robert Burns, was built in 1757 by the poet’s father, William Burness.
- Burns Monument, a Grecian temple dedicated to the memory of Burns, offers visitors unrivalled views of ‘the land of Burns’.
- Alloway Auld Kirk is the burial place for the poet’s father and the setting for Tam o’ Shanter’s brush with the ‘hellish legion’ of witches in Burns’s epic poem.
For 200 years the beautiful scenery of Alloway and its special connection with the life and works of Robert Burns have drawn visitors to this stunning Ayrshire village.
The Robert Burns Birthplace Museum offers visitors a chance to experience the rich heritage of Burns within the environment that inspired his imagination. Supported by modern visitor facilities and easily accessible by road and public transport, the park is an ideal destination for young and old alike. MORE>
