Burns Cottage in Ayr, United Kingdom, is the birthplace of the renowned Scottish poet Robert Burns. Located in the village of Alloway, just south of Ayr, the cottage was built by his father, William Burnes, in 1757. This humble, thatched-roof abode is now part of the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum, which includes a collection of buildings and monuments dedicated to the poet's life and work. Visitors can explore the well-preserved cottage, which offers a glimpse into 18th-century Scottish rural life and learn about the early years of Scotland's national bard.
