The Vennel Local and Family History Centre
description: The 18th century Heckling Shed, with its thatched roof, is where Robert Burns learnt the flax trade. Restored in the 1980s and now the place to trace your family tree and learn about the rich heritage of the area. Good collection of Ayrshire material, including books, maps, photographs and newspapers plus access to records from further afield.
