Sightseeing
Home of the man immortalised by Robert Burns in Tam o' Shanter. John Davidson was a shoemaker (souter) and was Tam o’ Shanter’s partner-in-mischief. He lived in this thatched cottage with his family in the late 18th century. Today it's not just an iconic sightseeing attraction but is also a fantastic restaurant serving lunch and dinner. They also have a separate ice cream parlour where they make all their ice cream on site. A must visit.
