About this event
This free exhibition in the Dick Institute's North Museum marks 240 years since John Wilson opened his printing shop in Kilmarnock, where the first edition of Burns's poems was printed. Alongside the famous Kilmarnock Edition you'll find rarely shown items, including a Mauchline kirk session book signed by both Robert Burns and Jean Armour, the only known document carrying both their signatures.
