Description: | Robert Burns (1759-96) Scotland's National Poet was born in a small thatched cottage in Alloway, Ayrshire the son of a market gardener who feued 7 acres locally. During a short period the farmer poet composed a wealth of songs and poems. He died in Dumfries of heart disease aged only 37 years.
The Cottage birthplace was occupied by Burns until he and his family moved to nearby Mount Oliphant Farm when Burns was aged only 7 years old.
On display in the kitchen of the Poet's birthplace in Alloway is the dresser and the plate rack which was probably there when occupied by William Burnes and his family. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0 | Publisher: | Burns Monument Trust | Temporal: | 1757-01-01 - 1757-12-31 | Source: | Burns Scotland | Identifier: | Dresser and plate rack in the kitchen of | Go to resource |
