    This was Robert Burns' "howff," or, his favorite local pub. In fact, he allegedly scratched verses…read morein the windows with a diamond and had an illegitimate child with the barmaid. Thus, for historical value, I had to check it out, but I only stayed for one drink because I did not find it particularly friendly.

The lady was more than happy to open it up for us and show us the other rooms. I got to take some cool pictures with my family in the backrooms of the Inn. After the unplanned tour we had about 3 more rounds and then headed to another pub. I'm not sure when the other parts of the Inn are open regularly with the Robbie Burns memorabilia, but it was pretty interesting if you're fan of his. Definitely made this place above average.
