Robert Burns Ellisland Museum & Farm
The Robert Burns Ellisland Trust invites tenders for a Conservation Architect led multi-disciplinary team to deliver “Saving the Home of Auld Lang Syne”.
This is a project of national significance funded by The National Heritage Lottery Fund and South of Scotland Enterprise.
The project plans to restore the farmstead built by the poet Robert Burns in 1788, where he wrote the famous anthem to friendship, and many other songs and poems. Taking a “conservation through use” approach, the project will make the site more accessible and sustainable by attracting new audiences, while restoring the exceptionally significant site to the highest conservation standards. A masterplan to RIBA 2 has already been completed, “Ellisland FutureVision”, alongside a Conservation Management Plan. The design team will be required to develop costed plans to RIBA 3, including submission to the local planning authority. The ITT will also cover further RIBA 4-6 stages. However, delivery of these stages is funding dependent and the contract will include a break clause after RIBA 3.
