Rabbie Burns birthplace museum, through National Trust for Scotland is well worth a visit. The cottage itself is lovely with its thatched roof and cobbled floor. The guide we met was knowledgeable and passionate about the history of this special home and made the visit for us. The museum is filled with interesting artefacts and a very nice cafe.

The historical place with a cute atmosphere and tasty gluten-free cakes as well. Check it out. It's nice that they have a playground for the kids. It's so convenient for a parent 🙏🏻🤍✨️.

A good visit, it was worthwhile attending the guided tour of the museum, he was very knowledgeable, and I learned a lot of information that I previously didn't know. Plenty to see and I would say a must visit if you are holidaying in Ayrshire.

Nice modern place. Good cafeteria with a lot of choice but the service can be slow at busy times. The small pots of jam are expensive.

Phenomenal and stunning tourist attraction dedicated to a true Literary Legend and National Icon right in the heart of his home on the West Coast of Scotland. The museum contains invaluable range of Burns' artefacts and memorabilia ranging from written letters, manuscripts, coat buttons, books & songs amongst other and all of the artefacts are absolutely magnificent condition considering of them are over 200 years. The museum also contains some fantastic portraits and the displays are wonderfully informative and interesting getting you right inside the world of Robert Burns and the displays are done in a very easy to understand way not overloaded with information to keep you interested and captivated keeping you interested throughout. The whole museum is also an outstanding tribute to Robert Burns and his life and gets people to understand his work and how be became a true National Icon and treasure. Besides the Museum there us also The Burns Monument and Gardens, Burns Cottage, Poets, Alloway Auld Kirk and Brig O Doon Bridge and Poet's Path. All the other parts of the attraction are just as amazing as the museum. The Poets Path where you can go to Burns Cottage is a nice pleasant attraction where you can see some interesting sculptured scenes from Tam O Shanter but also a stone work of Haggis and a Mouse and walking in the footsteps of Burns allows you to get immersed in his world further. Burns Cottage is a tremendous sight to see and you can walk around the gardens which are very picturesque. Charming and endearing and you can wander inside and get a flavour of how Burns lived and the hard living conditions he had and what inspired him over the years to become a true National Icon. The Burns Monument and Gardens is truly spectacular element to this and you can marvel at the iconic status of the Monument when you wander around the garden where you can enjoy a spectacular array of colour from the plants on show. Visitors can also climb The Burns Monument and enjoy brilliant views of the local area in particular the Brig O Doon Bridge and it is amazing this monument has lasted all this time and it is remarkable in itself. Alloway Auld Kirk visitors can see where members of Burns family were buried and see the old church which is now a ruin. The Brig O Doon Bridge allows visitors to see the famous Bridge which inspired Burns to write one of his Famous Poems ' Tam o Shanter'. There is a cafe at the site selling a lovely range of food and drink and also there is a gift shop wjixh sells a wonderful range of souvenirs at very reasonable prices. For what you see of the prices of admission it is extremely reasonable as it allows you see quite a lot of the site. Overall this is a really fantastic and amazing place to visit which truly inspires people and also offers a brilliant insight into Burns' work and his life. Well worth a visit whilst in Alloway.
