I went to the Burns house and museum when I was in Scotland last September. I found the museum very informative and I loved the church where his mom I believe is buried.
How long has the museum been there? I don’t remember it from my visit. That darned stocking!! And his Masonic apron!! And I love that the signs were also in Scots! Fascinating that the Wordsworths visited there, and actually went inside!
I know exactly what you mean by a place having lost itself. I've also experienced where a place is so layered with lives over time that it feels super chaotic.
I love his desk and chair with all the papers "flying" in the background. It really brings that little corner to life.
Thank you for sharing. I've travelled near there a few times, keep meaning to stop and have a look around. Hopefully I will get back up to Scotland soon. Thanks again, all the best - Martin

I think it was pretty new when Rachel and I went in 2013.
