*************

Alloway (Gaelic Allmhaigh, pronounced [a??avaj]) is a former Scottish village that is now a suburb of Ayr. It is best known as the birthplace of Robert Burns and the setting for his poem ""Tam o' Shanter"".

The former village and surrounding area was incorporated into the former Royal Burgh of Ayr in 1935, and the extended village is now a suburb of Ayr on the River Doon.

The birthplace of Robert Burns, known as ""Burns Cottage"", is located in Alloway, now adjacent to a museum containing original manuscripts of his poetry. A nineteenth century memorial to Burns, designed by Thomas Hamilton, is located at the foot of the village next to the present church.

The nearby, ruined Alloway Auld Kirk and the old bridge over the River Doon (Brig o' Doon) are featured in the poem ""Tam O'Shanter"", and are presently tourist attractions. Burns's father, William Burnes, is buried in the Auld Kirk. To add a ""ghostly"" appearance to the place, green lights are illuminated over it at night.

The whole site relating to Burns, encompassing Burns Cottage, the Brig o' Doon, Alloway Auld Kirk, the old and new Museum buildings, the Burns Monument and relevant local landmarks, is maintained by the National Trust for Scotland as the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum.
