O Lord, when hunger pinches sore,
Do thou stand us in stead,
And send us from thy bounteous store
A tup or weather head!
Written by Burns for the landlord of the Globe, William Hyslop, in return for dinner. Said before eating.

The Old Kitchen
<<Go back into the Snug Bar Move into the Burns Room>>

This room is now used as a dining room but in Robert Burns day this was the hub of the Globe Inn, as this would be where all the cooking would take place and the ale or porter would also be brought up from the cellar by the door in the corner. Still in place but not used are the old range with its sways for regulating the cooking pots, and the hooks on the ceiling for hanging smoked meats, etc.

Through another low doorway with a curved door we enter the Burns Room
