Burns Cottage was built in 1757 by the hands of Robert Burns’ father, William Burnes. On January 25, 1759, while the cold winter winds blew in from the Atlantic, it became the scene of Scotland’s most famous birthday when Robert Burns was born.
The simple “Auld Clay Biggin” where the World’s most loved poet was born has long been a must-see destination. Famous visitors have included John Keats, Clark Gable and Muhammed Ali. The cottage has been fully restored to it original condition and includes audio-visual interpretation to bring to life the childhood world of Robert Burns.
