Description: Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- Robert Burns (1759-96) Scotland's National poet was born in a small thatched cottage in Alloway, Ayrshire, the son of a market gardener who feued 7 acres locally. During a short period the farmer poet composed a wealth of songs and poems. He died in Dumfries of heart disease aged only 37 years. The chair is now on display in the Poet's birthplace at Burns Cottage, Alloway. It was lent by the Trustees of the late Sir William F. Stuart Menteth of Closeburn. The nursing chair was used by the Poet's mother Agnes Burnes and in the cottage she would have nursed her first four children. It was later used when the family moved to nearby Mount Oliphant Farm where the other 3 of her children were born.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
