Murder Mystery at Burns Cottage: The Best Laid Scheme o’ Mice and Murder

About Murder Mystery at Burns Cottage: The Best Laid Scheme o’ Mice and Murder

Robert Burns Birthplace Museum invites you to an exclusive evening hosted by Scotland's premier Murder Mystery company, Can You Catch the Killer.

Relax as they deliver a hilarious opening act, then dive into the drama as each murder suspect visits your table for questioning. It's an unforgettable night with a memorable story.

Your ticket includes a welcome drink, a half bottle of wine per person, and a Burns Supper worthy of your affluent host, Dugray.

Groups of two, three, or four will be combined to form a team, with six guests as the maximum team size.

Doors open at 7:00 PM, and the show begins at 7:30 PM.

With only 30 seats available for this one-of-a-kind, captivating murder mystery, be quick to book your seat at the table.

For one evening, Burns Cottage transforms into the 'Fiddle Pub' Inn, run by the detestable Big Mac.

Dugray Burns III, a rich gentleman, has reserved the pub's function room for a private Burns Supper. Despite his disdain for Dugray, Big Mac agrees to host the event for the money.

But tragedy strikes as a direct descendant of Robert Burns is found dead, and solving the mystery falls to you! Observe the night's events, then employ your sleuthing skills to interrogate the suspects...

You do the questioning. You connect the clues. You level the accusations. Can you catch the killer?

Recommended for ages 10 and up, the event offers something for all. Children under 10 might find the complex cases challenging. The plot is free from inappropriate language and may reference drinking, smoking, affairs, and murder, but always in a non-explicit, tasteful manner.
