The River Nith at Ellisland Farm.



Ellisland Farm in the time of Robert Burns

On his return from Edinburgh in February 1788, he resumed his relationship with Jean Armour and took a lease on Ellisland Farm, Dumfriesshire, settling there in June. He also trained as a gauger or exciseman in case farming continued to be unsuccessful. He was appointed to duties in Customs and Excise in 1789 and eventually gave up the farm in 1791. Meanwhile, in November 1790, he had written his masterpiece, the narrative poem "Tam O' Shanter". The Ellisland farm beside the river Nith, now holds a unique collection of Burns's books, artefacts, and manuscripts and is mostly preserved as when Burns and his young family lived there.[citation needed] About this time he was offered and declined an appointment in London on the staff of The Star newspaper,[20] and refused to become a candidate for a newly created Chair of Agriculture in the University of Edinburgh,[20] although influential friends offered to support his claims.[18] He did however accept membership of the Royal Company of Archers in 1792.[21]
