Robert Burns petition
On December 19 and 27, I wrote about the neglect of Scotland’s built heritage, including the Burns Cottage.
There is now an e-petition on the Holyrood website entitled ‘Culture and tourism policies regarding Robert Burns’.
This reads: “The petitioner requests that the Scottish Parliament… (a) review the policy and commitment of the Scottish Executive to place Robert Burns and his legacy at the heart of its culture and tourism policies (b) urge the Scottish Executive to assume responsibility for bringing together all interested parties to ensure the flagship assets of our Burns heritage are properly restored and developed in good time for the major events planned for the 2009 Homecoming Year, marking the 250th anniversary of the birth of the national bard.”
Please sign.
The petition is at epetitions.scottish.parliament.uk/viewtopic.asp?TopicID=46. It closes on 28 February.

Totally support the National Trust taking over responsibility for all Burns heritage. This is a major tourist interest for Ayrshire and allied to Scotland's most visited site - Culzean Castle.

Thanks for your comment. I am trying to cover other built heritage issues and welcome your input.
