As promised, my Historic Scotland Series is featuring the Poet’s Path, another National Trust for Scotland treasure, as my latest Fan Of… post.

The Poets’ Path is a scenic pedestrian path that joins Rabbie Burns’ Cottage to the Burns’ Birthplace Museum. Along the way, you can spot creative ironwork signage crafted by Timorous Beasties, celebrating scenes from Burns’ Tam o’ Shanter, & seasonal plantings. For more info, visit National Trust Scotland.
As you wander around, keep an eye out for some fantastic Burns-inspired artworks. Check out Kenny Hunter’s not-so-little cast iron mouse (Susan for scale) and, a bit further down, Jake Harvey’s oversized granite haggis. Don’t forget to take a break on our newest sculpture, The Twa Dogs, created by artist Sally Matthews!
Next week will be the Burn’s Birthplace Museum.

What a lovely mousey!
Glad you didn’t include small in the description ?
I was thinking that Henry would be in awe at its size!
In awe, or forming a cat army to take down the giant mouse ?

Ashamed to say that though I have been to Burns’ Cottage many, many years ago I have not been to the museum and didn’t know about the poet’s path. One for the list!
I think the Poet’s Path & Museum are quite new; they certainly weren’t there when I visited many, many, many years ago ?
