Robert Burns Cottage

When on my golfing travels last week I passed through Alloway where Burns was born.

Re: Robert Burns Cottage

What a beautiful little cottage.
That has to be around 250 years old?
I can't read the writing above the door, is it a museum now?
I would imagine it has a wonderful history since Burn's death.

Sorry about the missing apostrophy!!!!!

Burns Cottage, the first home of Robert Burns is located in Alloway, South Ayrshire, Scotland. It was built by his father, William Burness in 1757. Burns, Scotland's national poet, was born there on 25 January 1759. It is a simple two-roomed clay and thatch cottage and has been fully restored to become part of Robert Burns Birthplace Museum.
