The Burns house

Yesterday we went to dumfries and saw the house in which world famous poet Robert Burns died. We saw quite a few interesting things like where he engraved his name on his window, the bed in which he probably died and the gun he used when working as an exciseman (someone who caught smugglers.)Apparently Robert Burns died of cancer- what a horrid end to meet. Here are some interesting pictures.

I thought it was really interesting.So interesting that we bought a book about what life was like for Robert Burns when he was young.
