Situated in an 18th-century watermill by the banks of the River Nith in Dumfries, the centre tells the story of the Bard's extraordinary time in the market town.
Robert Burns spent the final years of his life in Dumfries and the centre's fantastic exhibition is illuminated by many original manuscripts and belongings of the Bard as well an impressive scale model of Dumfries in the 1790s and a haunting audio-visual presentation. In the evenings, the centre becomes a film theatre showing the best in contemporary cinema.
