Website | EmailThe heart of Burns Country is Alloway and this Heritage Park is devoted to the national bard. You can visit the Burns Museum, which houses a collection of original manuscripts and also sculptures, books and oil paintings. There's a gift shop, tea room and a library and database for additional information. A few minutes' walk into the surrounding gardens and you'll arrive at Burns Monument - a Grecian style commemoration of the writer opened in 1823. It contains mementoes and provides a great view point from which to appreciate the Brig 0' Doon and Auld Kirk. A must to see is Burns Cottage, the clay wall and thatch house built by the poet's father with his own hands, and the multimedia "Tam O' Shanter Experience".
