Mossgiel Farm (Mossgaville Farm or Mossgavel Farm in Old Scots) is an organic farm in Mauchline, East Ayrshire, Scotland. It was the home of Robert Burns between 1784 and 1788, and was where he composed many of his best-known works, including "To a Mouse, on Turning Her Up in Her Nest with the Plough". At the time, it consisted of 118 acres (48 ha), and Burns and his brother, Gilbert, rented the property from Gavin Hamilton upon the death of their father.While living there, Burns became acquainted with a group of girls collectively known as the Belles of Mauchline — one of whom, Jean Armour, was the daughter of a local stonemason. The two developed a relationship, resulting in nine children, three of whom survived infancy. They were married in 1788.During Burns's time at the farmhouse, it was a single-storey But'n'Ben cottage containing three small rooms. It is a two-storey farmhouse today.
