A number of artifacts about Robert Burns but it was a bit boring if you didn't know the man. The cottage where he was born seemed a bit soulless. Alright if you are NT member, otherwise a bit expensive to take guests.
...and worth an hour or two. The Brig O'Doon (Bridge over the river Doon) is neat to put your own feet on after years of reading about it in boring English Lit courses.Seeing where Tam O'Shanter made his escape brings poetry to life and makes those boring English Lit courses worth it..In a different location a short distance away, a visit to the cemetery where Burn's father is buried allows a reading of Burn's poignant epitaph for his father.
Great staff, super food, good toilets, great location near to all Burns related sites. Didn't visit museum but of you're into Burns sure it must be worth checking out.
The gardens were still blooming in October. So nice to see rose bushes and other gorgeous blooms at this time of the year. I kinda felt like I was in church. It was time to take in a deep breath and relax.
These gardens were beautiful. Let's ignore the three statues of little fat people and concentrate on the flowers and the view. Excellent.
I didn´t know about Burns before our visit and I could get a complete idea about his life and works in the place. It is comfortable, spacious, very tidy and the gardens were very interesting to walk through, with drawings, paintings, sculptures and glasses showing nice sentences from a poet who loved women
Lovely walk through beautiful gardens and plenty of seating for meditation! It was a lovely sunny day so we hit at the right time. This also is within walking distance of Burns Cottage and Museum.
Spent a good few hours admiring the wonderful gardens and scenery.. Another great sunny day. Used to come here with my Parents as a Child now I bring my Daughter.. Very peaceful...
The gardens are really pleasant for a stroll through and it is interesting to see the monument. It's worth going down to the river for a look at the Brig o' Doon.
A fitting tribute to the man himself. A pleasure to walk through the gardens and see the lovely array of flora and fauna. Well worth a visit. Free entrance.
