Burns Country
A must for first-time visitors to Scotland. From Uplawmoor, it's less than an hour's drive down into Ayrshire to the Robert Burns' Cottage at Alloway, near Ayr. Tannahill's Cottage, Queens Street, Paisley is the thatched home of poet Robert Tannahill (1774-1810), a contemporary of Burns who co-founded the world's first Burns Club. Beyond that, Burns slept, ate, drank, worked as a Customs & Excise Inspector and loved the lasses the length and breath of Renfrewshire - he even wrote a poem to one particular one, Highland Mary, who is buried at Greenock Cemetery.
