Dumfriesshire’s historic Ellisland Farm has been awarded funding to subsidise school visits.
The Robert Burns Ellisland Trust, which runs the property and land where the bard wrote Auld Lang Syne, has been given £3,000 from national agency, Museums Galleries Scotland.
Part of the Museums’ Recovery Fund to combat long term effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the grant will help subsidise the entrance costs of schools wanting to bring their pupils to see Ellisland, which has changed little since the poet built it in 1788.
