Description
Overlooking the Peebleshire hills close to Biggar, Brownsbank Cottage was the home of poet and writer Hugh MacDiarmid (Christopher Murray Grieve, 1892-1978), and his wife Valda. Brownsbank was purchased by Biggar Museum Trust in the early 1990s. The original interior was restored just as MacDiarmid had left it, and contains numerous portraits and photographs, and a unique collection of memorabilia. The cottage is now home of the writer-in-residence.Poetry readings, live background music, tours and book sales throughout the day.
