Robert Burns Museum, Alloway, Ayr

The Robert Burns Museum in Alloway, Ayr, was designed by Allan Stevenson in 1900. It is a single-storey building with an attic and features an asymmetrical 10-bay plan, finished with painted harl.

On the southwest entrance elevation, there is an advanced blank gabled bay on the outer left and a timber colonnade to the right. The entrance includes glazed timber doors on the left, right, and center, with three single windows between the central and left entrances, and two single windows between the central and right entrances. To the left, there are two gabled attic dormers with narrow strip glazing, and a gabled timber glazed entrance porch is located on the outer right.

The southeast side elevation, facing Alloway, has four bays. It features a canted bay on the outer left and single windows on all faces, including a single window on the right at ground floor and a three-light attic window. The gablehead is adorned with timber boarding, and there is a window within a recessed shelter on the outer right.

The northwest and northeast elevations were not visible in 1999. The building includes stained glass and predominantly 20-pane timber sash and case windows with timber shutters. The roof is covered with red slate, featuring a coped ridge and pitch stacks, along with circular cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods are also present.

Inside, the museum boasts a decorative tiled floor, corniced picture hanging rails, and coved ceilings that rise to canted skylights.
