Alloway
Born in the family cottage in Alloway, Ayr, Burns spent much of his childhood years in this area. The cottage still stands to this day, now forming the heart of the Burns National Heritage Park. Now fully restored to it's original state a visit to Burns Cottage is a must see for all Burns enthusiasts!
The heritage park also has a museum, where you could easily spend hours perusing the hundreds of artefacts, personal items belonging to Burns and original manuscripts, including one of "Auld Lang Syne". A visit to the Tam O'Shanter experience, where Burns' famous tale is brought to life is also recommended. As too is a walk over the Brig O'Doon, the climax in his famous poem Tam O'Shanter.
