Welcome to the National Burns Collection

Translate:

Welcome to the first website which allows you to explore Scotland’s national collection of treasures associated with Robert Burns.

Discover Burns close-up through our on-line gallery, virtual tours of the homes and haunts of the poet, and a wealth of poetry and songs. You’ll also find resources for the classroom, links to Burns organisations, and information on caring for Burns artefacts.

This website has been created by a partnership of museums, galleries, libraries, and other organisations across Scotland which together care for over 36,000 objects. These manuscripts, books, art and artefacts help bring us closer to understanding and appreciating Scotland’s national poet.
