Taking inspiration from the title of the Burns’ poem ‘A Red, Red Rose’ we have created a new children’s trail for this January. Take your clue sheet and Map to locate and solve the clues on the Poet’s Path and the smallholding at Burns Birthplace Cottage.

Purchase your trail sheet £3 from the Museum reception and follow the clues up Poet’s Path and into the cottage smallholding.

Each answer will give you a word with a special letter which helps spell out a word or phrase.

When you have solved all the clues and know what the word is, take your clue sheet back to the entry point at the cottage site and claim your mini haggis.

Trail sheets can be purchased from the cottage or museum but we recommend starting your trail at the museum end of Poets’ Path as the clues run in order from there to the cottage.

Trail sheets cost £3 each and it’s one prize per sheet.

Suitable for children and adults of all ages, though younger children may need some help from older peers, making this a great family/ team activity.

Reserve a trail sheet here and pay at reception when you collect it.

Last trails sheet sold at 2.30pm daily.
