... a taste of Burns
The Burnside Guest House offers guests the chance to enjoy an introduction to the life and poetry of Robert Burns who was born in Ayr in 1759.
	Donald Kay, in his guise as Rabbie Burns, is a popular and weel-kent figure around Ayr. On request, he will appear at the guest house at breakfast time to give a potted history on Robert Burn’s short but eventful life and recite poetry which will include parts of Tam O'Shanter with translations from the Scottish dialect.
“She tauld thee weel thou was a skellum, A blethering, blustering, drunken blellum”
Guests will be treated to a traditional full Scottish breakfast including porridge and whisky, haggis and black bread and a platter of fruits, cheeses and oatcakes.
Rabbie will then offer the guests the opportunity to visit Burns country on his walk-about tour (www.walkaboutayr.com). This includes a visit to Burn’s Cottage and museum, Burns Memorial, the haunted Alloway Kirk and Brig O Doon which plays a vital role in his most famous Tam O’Shanter poem.
A whisky tasting can be arranged or a visit to the Goudi Art exhibition at Rozelle House, depicting the tale of Tam O'Shanter. The Burns Breakfast is a memorable way to be introduced to the works and wonder of our national bard. The experience will be both informal and entertaining and suitable for all ages.
