Robert Burns Collection – contact us

Contact us about the collection

The Burns Collection is linked directly to our collections database, the place where we store all the information about the collections we look after, not only for Robert Burns Birthplace Museum but also for all our properties across Scotland. It is constantly being updated and so is never ‘finished’ – while we have done our best to make sure all the information presented here is accurate, if you do spot anything please email Robert Burns Birthplace Museum on burnscollection@nts.org.uk

For queries about the rest of our collection, please use our Contact Us form.

Loans

For loan enquiries, please contact our Loans Registrar on bduff@nts.org.uk

If you would like further information on the lending and borrowing of our collection, this can be viewed in our Sharing Collections policy.
