Help Save the Home of Auld Lang Syne
Without urgent action, we face the loss of a cultural treasure, where the world’s song of friendship was born.
Ellisland is the place to fall in love with Robert Burns, Scotland’s national poet.
This is the only home he designed and built, and the place where he was at the peak of his creative powers.
Our plans will ensure new generations are inspired by the idyll Burns created, and that great art is created here once again.
