Background

History

A Burns based museum has existed in a form since 1903 as the Burns House Museum, and Burn's Cottage has exhibited Burn's related artefacts as early as the 1820's. The Robert Burns Birthplace Museum is run and owned by the NTS. It was opened in the form it is today in 2009, with £23 million being spent on the project. This NTS project was supported by Professor Robert Crawford of The University of St Andrews, participating in the Scottish Governments Homecoming 2009<nowiki/>' scheme to boost Scottish tourism. Professor Crawford published a book, The Bard, Robert Burns, A Biography (2009), as the culmination of this research project.
