Robert Burns’ Ellisland Museum and Farm

Burns was especially creative at Ellisland, writing a quarter of his songs and poems including Auld Lang Syne and Tam o Shanter. During his time here, his focus moved to song-writing and collecting, including My Heart’s in the Highlands, The Banks of Doon, Killiecrankie and John Anderson.

About Robert Burns’ Ellisland Museum and Farm

Ellisland Farm was built by Robert Burns in 1788 for his young wife Jean Armour and their family. Burns chose Ellisland for its beautiful setting beside the River Nith. It has changed little since the 18th century and remains the most authentic of all his homes.
