Burns frequented The Globe Inn during his time in Dumfries, eating and drinking with companions in his favourite ‘howff’. It was whilst working as an exciseman that Burns and his family moved into the town, and he began to frequent The Globe Inn. Sometimes he lodged overnight!

The Burns Rooms at The Globe Inn hold a number of authentic Burns artefacts, including the chair that the poet sat in. You can also see verses that Burns etched onto the windowpanes of his bed chamber using a diamond stylus.

Visit the dining room where Burns ate, drank, sang, recited, and famously read aloud to his companions, from newspapers newly arrived off the Edinburgh stagecoach, updates on the French Revolution. Take a peek into Mrs Hyslop’s kitchen where the landlady of The Globe Inn prepared traditional hearty meals for the poet and his friends.
