The historic Ellisland Farm in Auldgirth, Dumfries and Galloway, where the renowned poet Robert Burns once resided and composed the iconic song “Auld Lang Syne,” has been awarded official museum status after a dedicated three-year effort to enhance its collection’s preservation.

Its significance lies in its rich collection of personal belongings, including Robert Burns’ fishing rod, flute, school books, and several original manuscripts.
