Ayrshire Towns ... Alloway |
No visit to Ayrshire is complete without a visit to Alloway, Alloway is
birthplace of its most famous son Robert Burns and there are many attractions
and history of this famous village. The thatched cottage, built in 1757
by Burns father has been restored and contains many relics of his time.
Burns was born on 25th January 1759 and the event was documented in this
verse .
"Our monarch's hindmost year but ane
Was five and twenty days begun,
'Twas then a blast o' Janwar win'
Blew hansel in on Robin.
Towards the River Doon you can visit The Tam o'Shanter Experience and
learn about Burns life and work. You can also visit Kirk Alloway and think
of Tam o'Shanter as he watched the "Warlocks and witches in a dance;"
From the Kirk you can see Burns Monument and the road leading to the legendary
Brig o'Doon. Tam o'Shanter managed to flee from the witches over the Brig,
as Burns said “A running stream they dare na cross".
