A former farm worker’s cottage has undergone a £230,000 refurbishment to help save the former home of Robert Burns for posterity.
Auld Acquaintance Cottage, in the grounds of Ellisland on the banks of the Nith just outside Dumfries, offers the only opportunity for the paying public to holiday at one of the national poet’s homes.
Bookings for the holiday let can now be made – with a seven night stay starting from £885. All profits from the new venture will support the Robert Burns Ellisland Trust which is working to save the A-listed farmstead which is considered the poet’s most authentic surviving home and the only one he built himself.
Burns built the property for his young wife Jean Armour in 1788 and completed around one third of his songs, poems and letters there – including Tam o Shanter, Auld Lang Syne, Ye Banks and Braes and Killiecrankie.
