The Original "Frierskerse" was established as a friary back in the 13th century, close to the present-day "Friars Carse". During the 18th century the property became home to the Riddell family and named "Glenriddell", with Robert Burns, the celebrated Scottish poet, as a regular house guest. Re-modelled in 1873, the house was once more named "Friars Carse" in 1895 and established as a hotel in 1938.
Set in 45 acres of woodland extending to the banks of the River Nith, the hotel, with its magnificent paneled entrance hall and elegant staircase, offers guests a warm welcome with a well-furnished spacious lounge with views over the garden and river and a comfortable bar. Strange reports have been documented over the period of its long history including hooded monks in the grounds and the cries of children in the upper floor corridors!
Robert Burns
Born in Ayrshire and died in Dumfries, Robert Burns only lived for 37 years but during an eventful lifetime he visited many places, knew many people and committed many of his experiences to paper for posterity. Burns left a great impression on the nation and its people with his songs and poems such as "Auld lang Sang" and "Tam o'Shanter".
Friars Carse has close associations with Robert Burns as it was here in the Whistle Restaurant, where the famous drinking competition was held with Fergusson of Craigdarroch, the outright winner and put into verse by Rabbie. It was also at the Burns Hermitage (located in the grounds of Friars Carse) where he would sometime sleep and wrote his inscription to the then owner of Friars Carse "To the Memory of Robert Riddell" on the hermitage window with his diamond stencil (can now be seen at Ellisland Farm Museum).
Just a short walk from the hermitage along the river Nith lays Ellisland Farm where Burns wrote many of his most famous poems and songs including Auld lang Syne and Tam o'Shanter.
