Alloway Magnets

Alloway Village signpost featuring Rabbie Burns

William Burns, father of the poet, is buried in the graveyard together with his wife Agnes and daughter Isabella Burns Begg as well as two of his nieces. Alloway was where he and his wife had first raised their family before moving to Mount Oliphant and Lochlea, and William had attempted to maintain the grounds of the Kirk, which was already a ruin at the time. The original memorial stone has eroded and the present day stone differs in wording, memorializing both of Burns's parents, and includes an epitaph the poet wrote for his father.
