Description
In 1788 Ellisland Farm (6.5mi/10.4km northwest of Dumfries) Robert Burns began to employ new agricultural methods but with such little success that the land had to be sold off in 1791. The famous ballad about his friend "Tam o'Shanter" and "Auld Lang Syne" was written while he lived here.
