Description

Framed copy of the plan of Burns Cottage, Alloway Ayr including elevation to public road, sections through kithcen and byre, sections of fireplaces and plan of the cottage as it was originally and it is today, after the restoration in 1899. Re-printed by B.M. Darley in 1976.

This framed plan is of Burns Cottage as it was restored in 1899, after it was acquired from the Incorporation of Shoemakers of Ayr by the Burns Monument Trustees. The slate roofed annex which had contained a public house, a hall for functions and landlord's accommodation was removed.

The plan was drawn by T. McGill Cassels, LRIBA, Ayr a local architect, to show how the Cottage would look when the extensions were removed and the Cottage had been restored by the Trustees to a condition closer to that pertaining in Burns's day.
