Ellisland Farm details...

Ellisland Farm was built by Robert Burns in 1788 for his young wife Jean Armour and their family.

Burns was especially creative at Ellisland, writing a quarter of his songs and poems including Auld Lang Syne and Tam o Shanter.

Burns chose Ellisland for its beautiful setting beside the River Nith. It has changed little since the 18th century and remains the most authentic of all his homes.

Visit Ellisland to fall in love with Burns and see nature through the poet’s eyes by walking in his footsteps on our peaceful riverside and woodland paths.
