Where was Robert Burns born?
Many aspects of Burns’s life still remain, including the cottage he was born in during the 18th century.
Robert Burns was born on January 25, 1975, in Alloway, a village near Ayr.
His parents, William Burnes and Agnes Brown raised the budding poet on Scottish farmland, surrounded by nature.
Burn’s rural upbringing drove his affinity with nature and love for the national landscape, which were later used as a muse for his poetic works.
Following the death of his father in 1784, Burns remained a tenant father of the farm for most of his life before launching his successful career as a Scots poet.
