The
pictures on this page: The Robert Burns statue in Irvine, the scene of
the annual wreath-laying on January 25th, organised by Irvine Burns Club
and the Club's premises at 'Wellwood' - a spacious and imposing 1903 building
of Ballochmyle red sandstone, bequeathed to the Club in 1962. Browse this site for details of the statue, our Museum and its collection, our history, and much else. |

Burns lived and worked in Irvine in 1781-82, and two of the founders of

in Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland,
is open four

winter. |
