Less than 20 years after Burns’ death, a committee of his strongest supporters were busy making plans to memorialise the man.

The result is this 70-foot high Grecian-style temple, designed by Sir Thomas Hamilton, complete with nine pillars representing muses from Greek mythology.

The monument was funded by subscriptions and finished in 1823. There is no admission fee for the monument and gardens, but we still raise funds today to help conserve this mighty memorial for everyone to enjoy.

Opening times

Open daily from 10am -5pm

We are closed from 12.30pm on 24 December 2017, reopening at 10am on 4 January 2018.

View of Brig o' Doon

Highlight • Viewpoint

The bridge is thought to have been built in the early fifteenth century. According to John R. Hume, the bridge was built by James Kennedy, who died in 1465, but the first recorded mention was in 1512. The bridge was described as "ruinous" in 1593.

The bridge features on the 2007 series of £5 notes issued by the Bank of Scotland, alongside the statue to Robert Burns, that is located in Dumfries.
