NS3318 : This Way To Burns CottageNS3318 : This Way To Burns CottageThis particular image has become more historic nature with the building of the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum and opening of same in 2011.
Many of Burns' works, long kept in less than ideal conditions and/or storage have been moved to the new facility.
This allowed for a certain amount of alterations to the layout at Burns' Cottage.
The entrance is no longer as shown.
A new entrance has been built, from an improved car park, allowing visitors to the cottage a more leisurely access past a 'dry stane' wall inlaid with Rural scenes depicting Burns' time and access to the landscaped Cottage garden, as opposed to the some time hazardous pavement walk past the Cottage to the entrance shown.
