Global fundraiser launched to save home of Auld Lang Syne
November 28, 2025
|Dumfries and Galloway Standard
The Robert Burns Ellisland Trust launches its international fundraising campaign tonight at a special event in Glasgow-just ahead of St Andrew’s Day.
Determined Duncan Dornan, chairman of the Robert Burns Ellisland Trust and project director Joan McAlpine, pictured in The Spence - Robert Burns' study at Ellisland Farm - are determined to raise £12 million to save it
It aims to save the historic farm near Dumfries where Burns lived, farmed, and wrote Auld Lang Syne and more than a quarter of his entire body of work.
The Saving the Home of Auld Lang Syne campaign seeks to raise £12 million to restore the only home built by Burns, safeguard a collection of national importance, and create a world-class cultural destination in Dumfriesshire that connects the poet's legacy with contemporary creativity.
