If you're coming home to Scotland or already stay in Scotland and simply interested in your roots, then [red]Burns' Monument Centre[/red] at Kay Park in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire is for you!
The facility housing; family, local history, archives and registration services under one roof can build a picture of ancestral history and will provide a significant boost to local tourism.
The £5 million centre offers visitors from near and far the opportunity to trace their family tree and learn more about Scotland's rich culture, history and heritage.
It has a 3D digitised version of the Kilmarnock Edition which allows viewers to turn the pages of the book and listen to Billy Kay narrate a selection of poems.
