🐄 Mossgiel Farm

East Mossgiel Farm is a tenanted farm in Mauchline, East Ayrshire, Scotland. It was the home of Robert Burns between 1784 and 1788, and was where he composed many of his best-known works, including "To a Mouse, on Turning Her Up in Her Nest with the Plough". At the time, the farm consisted of 118 acres (48 ha), and Burns and his brother, Gilbert, rented the property from Gavin Hamilton upon the death of their father.
