Burns Cottage, Birth house museum in Alloway, Scotland
The four-room clay and thatch cottage contains a box bed where Robert Burns shared sleeping quarters with his three siblings during childhood.
William Burnes constructed this cottage in 1757, which later transformed into an alehouse during the nineteenth century before its restoration in 1881.
The cottage walls display traditional Scots vocabulary and poetry excerpts, representing the linguistic foundation of Burns's literary contributions.
The National Trust for Scotland maintains this museum with disabled access, parking facilities, and combined tickets for the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum complex.
The kitchen area features an audio presentation of Tam o'Shanter, connecting visitors to the environment where Burns received his early education.
