South-West Scotland is very much ‘Burns Country’.
Discover the views and calm, charming and beautiful Scottish countryside that Robert Burns not only called home for the best part of his life, but also from where he drew so much inspiration.
Ellisland Farm is conveniently situated on the road between Robert Burns’ birthplace in Alloway and his final resting place at St Michael’s Churchyard in Dumfries, home to many other popular Burns related landmarks.
Within a short drive, or in some cases even walk, of the farm, Robert Burns enthusiasts can discover:
Burns experienced his most creative and fruitful years here at Ellisland. He found great poetic inspiration in the beauty of the surrounding countryside, the various people he met and the events he witnessed whilst living here.
AboutThere is so much to see at Ellisland Museum & Farm, so please allow at least an hour for a short visit and two to three hours for a full visit. We're a short, 5 mile drive from the centre of nearby Dumfries, just off the A76.
