BURNS Cottage was overcrowded with people eager to take part in all things Robert Burns.
Over 600 people came through the doors of the cottage, with more than 300 people taking part in the ever popular haggis hurling.
Men, women and children of all sizes took part in the event with the winner, Gary McClay, managing to fling a haggis a massive 182ft.
Entry to the cottage was free and visitors got the chance to experience Burns at it’s best.
Volunteers were doing traditional crafts such as rag rug making - which went down as a big crowd pleaser.
They also made their own ink and used feather quills to write on parchment paper.
The Burns Cottage team also took to the kitchen to make traditional Bannocks - a cross between a scone and a pancake.
On the Baird’s birthday on Monday January 25, Burns Cottage held the first Burns Supper in the building since 1809.
