Burns CountryA must for
first-time visitors to Scotland. From Johnstone, it's less
than an hour's drive to the Burns' Cottage at Alloway, near Ayr.
Tannahill's Cottage, Queens Street, Paisley is the thatched home of poet Robert Tannahill
(1774-1810), a contemporary of Burns who co-founded the world's first Burns Club. Mary
Campbell, immortalised by Burns as 'my Highland Lassie O', actually lived in Ayrshire but
died and was buried in Greenock. Indeed, the Burns Trail runs throughout Inverclyde, which
lies between Johnstone and the Clyde Coast.
