Auld Acquaintance Cottage sits in the heart of Ellisland Farm which was built by Robert Burns in 1788 for his young wife and family. Burns, known affectionately as Rabbie, is the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide for poems and songs including Auld Lang Syne, which was written here. Whilst Ellisland Farm remains much as it was in the 18th century, Auld Acquaintance Cottage was renovated in 2023 into a beautiful holiday retreat in the modern rustic style. The large, open plan living space with its cosy wood burner and beautifully fitted kitchen is a charming room with doors opening onto a garden overlooking the River Nith. The cosy interior includes artisan and antique pieces, with artwork inspired by Burns.
Ellisland is the best place to see nature through the poet's eyes. Follow woodland paths created by the ploughman poet himself, including where he wrote his famous epic, Tam o' Shanter. Auld Acquaintance Cottage looks on to the farmhouse built by Burns where you can experience what life would have been like for a rural family in the 18th century. The museum includes an extensive collection of artefacts, memorabilia and manuscripts. Proceeds from Auld Acquaintance Cottage support The Robert Burns Ellisland Trust, the charity which safeguards this precious historic site and its collection.
You are perfectly placed to explore this unspoiled region.

There are numerous activities for kids, from the adventure playground to ranger-led wildlife walks. You are also just six miles outside the regional market town of Dumfries with its many attractions, including Robert Burns' favourite establishment, The Globe Inn, now a fine dining restaurant.
The Galloway Forest Park is an amazing place to visit where you can enjoy the rolling glens with breath-taking loch and mountain views. As the UKs first Dark Sky Park, Galloway is one of the darkest places in the UK.
