Background: Alloway (Scottish Gaelic: Allmhaigh) is a village and suburb of Ayr on the Doon, in Scotland. It is best known as the birthplace of Robert Burns, and is also where he set Tam o'Shanter. The ruined Alloway church features in the poem--as the scene of the witches' dance--as does the local Brig o'Doon. There is a memorial to Burns in the village, and several museums.
