Description

This image documents the Burns Cottage Alloway exterior. The foreground has a garden with plants growing over the low wall. The house sits behind the fence with a dirt road in between. The house appears to have had an extension built on the left side as the roofing materials differ from the roof on the right. The simple house only has a couple entrances and a few windows to look out of.
