Sunday

[View from our home base, the "Greenskeeper Cottage." The building in the background is the clubhouse to the golf course we border.]

[Outside Robbie Burns birthplace (2 minute walk from our cottage).]

[Inside the cottage.]

[Spooky garments of some sort representing the four Burns children born in the cottage - including Annabella.]

[Buchanan plaid Haggis platter decorated with a line from Robert Burns poem "To a Haggis."]

[The old kirk featured in Tam o' Shanter. The window on the front of the church is from where the Devil played the pipes for the witches' dance.]

A winnock-bunker in the east,
There sat auld Nick, in shape o' beast;
A towzie tyke, black, grim, and large,
To gie them music was his charge:
He screw'd the pipes and gart them skirl,
Till roof and rafters a' did dirl.

[One of the tombstones near the kirk.]

[Tam O' Shanter, Souter Johnie and their doppelgangers.]

[Brig O' Doon (bridge over the river Doon).]

[The Buchanans and a random Scottish couple.]
