Bachelors' Club, Upper Room.At one time the largest room in the village, it was here that Burns came in 1777 to take dancing lessons and in 1780 formed a debating society for unmarried men known as the Bachelors' Club. On the 4th July 1781, Robert Burns also became a freemason in this room. Bible chair
This chair has a small flap on one arm. The flap can be raised and lowered. When the flap is raised, a book or writing paper can rest on it. The members of the Bachelors’ Club may well have used this type of chair for their books and notes during their debates. |
