Wellwood Burns Centre & Museum

Displays relating to Robert Burns and his stay in Irvine - an audio-visual, evocative murals, fascinating objects, books, paintings and manuscripts - all housed in an Edwardian town house, itself impressive. Irvine Burns Club, established by friends of the poet in 1826, manages this nationally-recognised venue. (Scottish charity no. 018485.)

Spent a couple of hours here and it is well worth a visit, they have soo much to tell and show. Interactive videos aimed at both old and young and people who want to tell you all about Burns time in Irvine. The people are friendly welcoming and very knowledgeable and are able to pitch the talks whether you are just interested or an aficionado. The items on display from Burns life and more are fabulous and some of the will blow you away. No charge but worth a generous donation in the box on the way out Well well worth a visit just to see his hand written manuscripts.
