Saving the Home of Auld Lang Syne:

Ellisland farmhouse near Dumfries - the home of Robert Burns - is in a poor state of repair. This weekend sees the launch of a campaign to raise £12 million to save it. And transform it into a viable cultural centre.

Burns wrote “Auld Lang Syne” and more than a quarter of all his work in the study at the house - known as the “spence”.

Launching the campaign in Burns’ spence and at the farmyard gate are Duncan Dornan (chair of Robert Burns Ellisland Trust) and Joan McAlpine (project director) and project curator Adam Dickson, holding a restored flute belonging to Burns' family.
