Alloway is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Robert Burns (1759 - 1796), Scotland's national poet. The Robert Burns Birthplace Museum includes the famous Burns Cottage where he was born, landmarks included in his work, the Burns Monument and Memorial Gardens and the fantastic museum that holds some of his most important collections of work. These include letters and manuscripts, the pistol he carried while an exciseman and a lock of his hair. Burns set much of Tam O’Shanter here.
