The Globe Inn, in a close off the High Street in Dumfries, was established in 1610 and became one of Robert Burns's favourite haunts during his stay within the Dumfries Area 1788 -1796.
When farming at Ellisland he would often leave his horse in the care of the Hyslops at the Globe whilst at the market in Dumfries. During his early career as an Exciseman he would stay at the Globe Inn. Many a night was spent in the company of friends in the back room enjoying good song verse food and wine and a close friendship was formed with Mr. and Mrs. Hyslop the proprietors of his favourite howff. The Inn to day has changed little and the rooms that Burns frequented can be viewed by visitors seven days a week. The bedroom on the first floor still retains its many original features and the panes of glass that Burns inscribed with two verses can be easily seen in daylight, the room also contains pictures etchings furniture relating to that time. The griddle that Jean Armour used over 200 years the kitchen chair is also in this room. Throughout The Globe there are many original artefacts and Burns memorabilia (such as this pair of Staffordshire flat back ornaments of Tam o’ Shanter and Souter Johnnie, pictured) which relate to Burns during that time and the 200 plus years since his death. The Globe is still a working inn and is very much a living memorial to Burns.
