Meander along the illuminated Poet’s Path celebrating the nature and seasons of Burns landscape. Cross the bridge and prepare to be lured to the spooky Auld Kirk Graveyard where witches may lurk. Make time to glance o’er to the historic moonlit Brig o’ Doon where Tam makes haste and complete your journey back to the museum (where drouthy neibours revel) through the red red rose path. In this journey o’ exploration surprises are a plenty. Discover special illuminations, be enchanted by mischievous sights, sounds and entertainment and delight in landmarks coming alive. This special evening concludes with a finale burning of John Barleycorn to the sound of tribal drums!
