Souter Johnnie's Cottage

Souter Johnnie's Cottage is a cottage at Kirkoswald in Ayrshire. It is but a humble cobbler's cottage but a lesson in the way a working man lived in the eighteenth century, and preserved as such by the National Trust for Scotland.

The cottage was the home of John Davidson, a cobbler ("souter") who was immortalised as "Souter Johnnie" in the Robert Burns epic poem Tam o' Shanter. (Read more)
