We are seeking to appoint a Bursar to lead The Burn through a period of development and expansion. The challenge will be to sustain the unique ethos of The Burn while generating additional income streams and taking forward an estate development programme. The Bursar will be provided with excellent accommodation on the estate.
A stay with us brings students and academic staff together, boosts enthusiasm for their subject and benefits their education, as well as lifting their spirits.
We have self catered accommodation in our Courtyard House, which is adjacent to the Mansion House and can hold 12 guests, and in our lovely, cosy North and South Gate Lodges, both of which can hold 4 guests and are ideal for a family or small groups.
Use us for conferences, away days, retreats and intimate wedding parties of 40 and under. Whether inside our elegant Mansion house or outside in the beautiful grounds, this is the perfect place for birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, and parties.
“The Burn offers outstanding value with the flexibility that allows either smaller or relatively large reading parties to fit comfortably into shared or single accommodation for academic retreats”
Prof Jonathan Cooper, Wolfson Chair of Bioengineering, University of Glasgow.
“The Burn is a place which allows you to be detached from the world and connect with yourself.”

“After two intense days of workshops, we shared far more essential information about ourselves than we ever would at a conference, symposium or day long meeting.”

“My experience at the Burn was far beyond what I had imagined. The venue and the setting are so beautiful, the house is amazing, and the surrounding area blew me away especially the lovely walk along the river. We were very well looked after and had everything we could possibly need at any time. The conference was excellently planned, and I think ran very smoothly and the building was perfect for it. The evenings there were a lot of fun, filled with food, games and a few drinks and I made a lot of friends there. Overall, I had an incredible time, and it is a university memory that I think I will keep with me for a very long time.”
