The Burns Heritage Trail takes you through some of the most beautiful landscapes in Scotland.

The Heritage Trail takes you on a journey through Burns' life from the cottage in Alloway that is his birthplace to his grave in Dumfries.

Alloway

Burns most famous works were written in South West Scotland and you can visit the places where the ideas for these poems were born.
