It's been on display in a family museum since the 1930s.
But this rare boxwood flute hasn't been played in almost 200 years.
The last person to do so was likely its owner, James Glencairn Burns, son of Robert Burns, a talented musician and a passionate advocate for his father's legacy.
But thanks to a grant from the Pilgrim Trust and the Association of Independent Museums, the flute has been restored and is helping raise money for the wider restoration of Ellisland Museum and Farm near Dumfries.
Ellisland was the home Burns built for his family, and where he composed over 130 poems and songs including Auld Lang Syne.
