Ellisland Farm

Ellisland Farm is one of the leading Robert Burns visitor attractions of Dumfriesshire. The museum provides a wonderful insight into the life of Robert Burns, Scotland's National Bard, who came to live at Ellisland Farm when he was 29 and lived there for three of the most fruitful years of his short life. Some of Robert Burns' best-loved nature poems were inspired by the tranquil setting of Ellisland Farm.

The museum houses a fascinating collection of the original writings and possessions of the bard and there is also plenty to do for those who aren't fully absorbed Robert Burns enthusiasts including beautiful walks along the river to Frairs Carse for a "wee dram", nature trails with panoramic views, BBQ facilities and a fine assortment of vintage agricultural implements. Guided tours of Ellisland farmhouse and museum are always available.
