Robert Burns once lived in the house. As well as artefacts belonging to the poet, there is a fascinating collection of Mauchline box ware for which the town was famous in the 19th century. There is also a display on curling and curling stones relating to the local factory. A number of Burns contemporaries including Holy Willie, Gavin Hamilton and Poosie Nansie are buried in Mauchline Kirkyard opposite the museum.
