Robert Burns’ Ellisland Farm

Ellisland was built in 1788 by Robert Burns' for his family and is considered the 'Poets Choice' for it's idyllic walks and scenery of the Nith. Little has changed since Burns' lived here and it is considered one of the most authentic Burns sites.
When you visit you can see the landscape that inspired Burns as well as the room where he wrote the likes of his famous 'Auld Lang Syne'. We also have a museum section containing some of Burns' items and an informative video.
From 2022 onwards the trust is offering a specialist 'Dram and Bannock' tour led by a local story teller. This involves local food and drink and an expert guide, the minimum number in a group is 10. Visits begin with our 15 minute introductory movie, then a visit to the museum that houses many of his possessions and then visit the kitchen and spence of Robert's house.
