With a population of just over 400 people, the village comprises around 190 houses, The Wheatsheaf Pub, Burn Methodist Chapel and the thriving Burn Cricket Club. Burn is also home to Burn Gliding Club based on Burn Airfield, made famous due to the presence of 578 Squadron during WW2 and in October 2012 the village saw a new memorial unveiled in memory of the Royal Canadian Air Force’s 431 (Iroquois) Squadron, founded at Burn in November 1942. The then commanding officer and warrant officer came over from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, where the modern day 431 Squadron (“The Snowbirds”, the Canadian equivalent of the Red Arrows) is based, specifically for the ceremony.
