All Away in Alloway PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 10 September 2011 21:47

An excellent afternoon and evening in Alloway today (10 September 2011) to visit the new Robert Burns Birthplace Museum and Burns' cottage with a full coach load from Blantyre. Lots to see, lots to learn, lots to experience from the new museum to Brig o'Doon and Auld Alloway Kirk to the famous cottage where Robert Burns was born. As ever, many laughs along the way, even some lovely warm weather for the trip, and a meal shared together on the way home.

Many thanks to Elsie Balneaves and the members of the Membership Action Group for organising the trip.
