| Robert Burns was born in a small cottage
in Alloway on 25 January 1759. By the time of his death,
aged 37, on 21 July 1796, he had become Scotland's best-loved
poet and, perhaps more importantly, the symbol of the
regeneration of a nation.
Now fully restored to its original state,
Burns Cottage forms the heart of Burns National Heritage
Park - a unique encounter with Scotland's most exceptional
man. Set among the delightful scenery of historic Alloway,
just 2 miles from the port of Ayr, Burns National Heritage
Park is an unmatched opportunity to experience Scotland's
National Poet.
Robert Burns' birthplace is brought to life through
a mixture of modern technology and unique authentic
locations and artefacts. See the world's most important
Robert Burns collection in the Museum. Walk in the footsteps
of Tam O'Shanter in 'Alloway's auld haunted kirk' and
across auld Brig O'Doon. View Robert Burns' beloved
Ayrshire countryside from the roof of Burns Monument
and experience the humour and excitement of Robert Burns
best-loved tale in the Tam O'Shanter Experience. There
is something here for everyone to enjoy.
