Two battles were fought here in the Wars of Scottish Independence, a 1307 victory led by Robert the Bruce and one considered unhistorical by William Wallace. It look like Wallace won because this monument has sculpture depicting a silhouette of Wallace. At 5 metres high, it's a bit exaggerated.

William Wallace hod in Leglen Woods and a relative from nearby Auchencruive assisted him. Robert Burns came to the woods to pay tribute to Wallace. The cairn is approached through wrought iron gates and steeps stone steps - beware of the slippy leaves. The Oswald Bridge stands nearby and the views are of the River Ayr - look out for the White Egrets. A good place for walks along the country lanes although parking isn't all that easy.

After visiting the museum, Burns Cottage and Auld Kirk I love to spend a few hours just walking around, down to Brigadoon, then go up inside the monument to appreciate the views. When quiet this place is so peaceful, lots of benches to just sit and enjoy the views, beauty and peace of this special place

Birthplace of poet Robert Burns.
Reviewed By svenskmum - Glasgow, United Kingdom
although we stay a 45 minute drive away, this was our first visit. This is a National Trust for Scotland property and I must say, very modern, bright, informative and the staff very friendly and helpful. The cafe was excellent, good home made products with prices cheaper than many other cafe in the area. The museum was very interesting with lots to see about our Rabbie. Then of course you can walk over to the Auld Kirk, Rabbie's birthplace, the monument and the Brig O' Doon. (the bridge over the river, not the hotel)you can spend an excellent few hours seeing and more than likely realising that Robert Burns contributed a lot more to our Scottish heritage than we knew. Even on a wet day it is a place to go to. There is also a children's outside play area when the weather is good. Helps the little ones from being too board with culture. The gift shop is well worth a visit. This is certainly a place where we shall visit again soon.
