Reviews
I did not know who Robert Burns was till I heard he wrote Auld Lang Syne. A very interesting and educational visit for those he is less known to. Lovely old decor and displays of his work as a poet and wrighter. Respect for the preservation of his work.
Well worth a visit, very interesting, full of history and character. There is a free carpark not too far away and it is also in walking distance to the Mausoleum and into town. Entry is free, although they do have a donation box and also a small gift shop. The gentleman is so informative and helpful. You can even try on some of the hats and clothes in the dressing room!
Really interesting house to visit, even if you are not so interested in Robert Burns or know much about him. For those who are, this is where he died and each room is labelled with its original use in Burns time and there are original belongings of his and wife Jean. On one of the windows, you can see Burns has scratched his name into the glass. Amazingly, this place is free to visit, but with donations appreciated. Very much worth planning a visit along with some of the local free museums and landmarks.
This is the house where Burns spent the 3 years of his life, and although it's quite small it is interesting to visit and there are several exhibits of his work etc. It's free of charge too! Even if you're not a Burns fan it's a good insight into a late 18th century middle class home.
It's free to go in. Lots of interesting photos and paintings. When asked questions, the guide was very knowledgeable about Burns.
