This lovely statue of Robert Burns and his printer, John Wilson (who printed the first edition of Burns poems close to this very spot) was unveiled in the 1990s by Princess Anne. Sandy Stoddard was the sculptor, whose other works include the statue of David Hume on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh and the sculptured friezes in Buckingham Palace in the Queen's Gallery.
This fine statue can be found just opposite the 'Burns Shopping Mall' and is well worth a look if you're in the town. read more
