Robert Burns Ellisland Trust, established in 2020 (taking over from another trust set up in 1923), cares for Ellisland. Ellisland is a farm built and farmed by Robert Burns between 1788 and 1791. A place which inspired Burns to write some of his most famous poems, we champion the incredible history of Ellisland and the heritage of Robert Burns through our public programmes, collections, site, house and landscape.
