Robert Burns lived in Greenock for a brief period in 1781 while working as an assistant to a flax dresser. During his time there, he met Agnes Begg, who became the inspiration for his poem "The Lass of Cessnock Banks." Greenock also has a connection to Burns through the Custom House, where he worked as an Exciseman in later years.
