Burns National Heritage Park in Ayr, South Ayrshire, United Kingdom | Heritage Village | Heritage Park

Welcome to the Burns National Heritage Park in Ayr, United Kingdom. Under the new ownership of the National Trust for Scotland, 2009 also marks the start of a major redevelopment of Burns National Heritage Park . This will involve the redevelopment of the whole site and the building of a new museum ? Robert Burns Birthplace Museum ? to house the most important Burns collection in the world.
The museum will bring the Burns to life for the 21st century, celebrating his life, work and contribution to Scottish culture and inspiring every visitor. Please join us in supporting the redevelopment by visiting the appeals pages of the National Trust for Scotland website.
During this exciting phase of redevelopment, business will carry on as normal, with as little disruption as possible for visitors to Alloway. Visitors will still be able to travel back in time in the atmospheric cottage in which Burns was born and walk in the footsteps of Tam o'Shanter to the haunted ?Auld Kirk' and Brig o'Doon, immortalised in Burns's much loved tale and brought to life in the audio-visual presentation within the Tam o'Shanter Experience.
The world's most significant Burns collection will also continue to be displayed in the current museum and the historic Burns Monument and beautiful commemorative gardens are a fitting tribute to the life of Scotland 's National Bard.
Supported by modern visitor facilities and easily accessible by road and public transport, the Park in Ayr is an ideal destination for young and old alike.
