Ellisland Museum and Farm
Dumfries and Galloway
Ellisland farm was built by Robert Burns in 1788 as the family home for his wife Jean Armour and their young children. Burns lived here until 1791 and during this time he wrote around 25% of his work including some of his most famous songs and poems such as Auld Lang Syne and Tam O’ Shanter. At Ellisland you can immerse yourself in the nature and landscapes that inspired Burns and view our collection of artefacts and original manuscript.
