A
Burns House
This is a place of pilgrimage for Burns enthusiasts. It's here that the poet spent the last years of his life, and there are various items of his possessions in glass cases, as well as manuscripts and, entertainingly, letters: make sure you have a read.

B
Robert Burns Centre
A worthwhile Burns exhibition in an old mill on the banks of the River Nith. It tells the story of the poet and Dumfries in the 1790s. The optional audiovisual presentations give more background on Dumfries, and explain the exhibition's contents.
You'll find Robert Burns'mausoleum in the graveyard at St Michael's Kirk; there's a grisly account of his reburial on the information panel. At the top of High St is a statue of the bard; take a close look at the sheepdog at his feet.
