Robert Burns (Ellisland) As those at home and around the world, including in our Parliament, raise a dram this week to the continued social, economic and cultural importance of Robert Burns, the campaign to save the home of “Auld Lang Syne”, Ellisland—the Dumfriesshire farm that the poet built and called home—is building momentum. Ellisland is where Burns wrote many of his most famous works. Given that the project to restore that nationally significant site is so important to local residents in Dumfriesshire and Burns fans, will the First Minister reaffirm his Government’s full support for it, and will he agree to visit Ellisland to join Scots and visitors from around the world in experiencing for himself what Burns called “sweet poetic ground”?
