Burns Cottage

Burns Cottage is a clubhouse in Atlanta that replicates the birthplace of Scottish poet Robert Burns with careful precision. The walls are built from local Stone Mountain granite and feature traditional Scottish architectural details throughout the interior spaces.

The building was constructed in 1911 by the Burns Club of Atlanta following exact measurements of the original Scottish home. This project reflected the strong Scottish heritage connections that existed in the city during that era.

The building serves as a gathering place for people interested in Scottish poet Robert Burns and his literary works. Visitors can see the rooms where regular meetings and readings take place.

The location on Alloway Place Southeast is easy to find and the building contains a meeting room created from the original barn layout. The interior is accessible and relatively compact, allowing for a straightforward visit.

This is the only known reproduction of Robert Burns' birthplace located outside Scotland and was built with authentic design specifications from the original. The accuracy of this replica makes it a special place for those interested in Scottish history and literature.
