The Statue

The Irvine statue of Robert Burns now stands proudly in its re-landscaped (1996) setting, to mark the poet's links with the town where he first had the idea of publishing his work.

The bronze statue, set on a pedestal of Aberdeen granite, shows the poet "in contemplative mood, standing on a peak". His right foot rests on a boulder, and
his plaid is flung over his knee. His hair is tied behind, as was his custom. He faces Alloway.
