The Scottish Antique and Arts Centre has over 250 dealers across their two centres. To celebrate the life of Robert Burns the centre at Doune has gathered together some of the artifacts related to Robert Burns in one temporary collection which visitors to the centre can see free of charge. This Robert Burns exhibition includesa George III 18th Century writing slope, dark oak chair of the period, Mauchlineware and Tartan ware and paintings of the area in which Robert Burns lived.
