Robert Burns lived and worked in Irvine in 1781-82, and two of the founders of Irvine Burns Club in 1826 were men who had known the poet - see the section on our History for more detail. Our museum at 'Wellwood' is open four times weekly from April to September, and weekly on Saturdays during the winter.
