This is a very exciting time. Many local people visit the property regularly for a variety of reasons, it is also a popular stop-off point for a walk, food and beverages or to enjoy the playpark.

Independent Monitoring Boards are made up of over a thousand unpaid volunteers operating in every prison in England and Wales, and every immigration detention facility across the UK.
IMB members are the eyes and ears of the public, appointed by ministers to perform a vital task: independent monitoring of prisons and immigration detention. They report on whether the individuals held there are being treated fairly and humanely and whether prisoners are being given the support they need to turn their lives around. This can make a huge difference to the lives of those held within these facilities.

"I have been a volunteer for more than a few years now at the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum. I take guided tours round the Museum site, organise the free, open to all Highlight Talks held at the Museum roughly every fortnight from September to June. I've also been involved with fund raising events to support the work of the Museum. A memorable moment, from volunteering, was the fun of reading the Gruffalo in Scots for two Australian visitors. I just happened to meet them in the Monument Gardens, got talking and agreed to their request to read the Scots language version of the book. Another memory is meeting the family of the Night Watchman who prevented Suffragettes blowing up Burns Cottage in 1914." - Melvyn
