This house is where Burns and his wife Jean rented while making his new farm ready for both of them to move into, The one room they rented has be refurbished to resemble something comparable to the room back in their time. There's not much to see in the room, but the thing that really makes the museum above average is the original manuscripts and objects that belonged to and associated with the couple. Another reason I'm giving this an extra star is that it's very unusual for a museum to focus so much on both Robert Burns and Jean Armour except for perhaps the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum. So kudos for that.

This giant frame looks like a sculpture, but is actually the restored headgear of the Barony Colliery. There’s a lot of information and interpretation on coal from formation to extraction, the lives of the miners etc. Combined with the frame, the information really gives a sense of the scale of coal mining that once existed in Ayrshire. All that is gone now, but we still have this magnificent frame.
