Mossgeil Farm - Mauchline
Farmed by poet Robert Burns and his brother Gilbert between 1784 and 1786.

Robert and Gilbert took the farm of Mossgiel, consisting of 118 acres, at the rent of £90 per annum, from Mr Gavin Hamilton.

In Burns' day Mossgiel was a single storey cottage with a garret containing three small rooms, the centre room was occupied by Robert and Gilbert.

Today Mossgiel is a two storey house and the thatched roof has been replaced by a slated roof.
