He may be regarded as Scotland’s most famous son, but the first contemporary museum in honour of famed poet Robert Burns has only just been realised. Spread over 10 acres, the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum encompasses the cottage where Burns was born, several landmarks from his most famous works as well as the rambling Ayrshire countryside from which he found his inspiration. Designed by Simpsonand Brown Architects for the National Trust for Scotland, the building combines locally sourced timber and stone with a curvaceous grass roof, and is a blueprint for sustainable Scottish architecture. I will post more once I've visited!
