Burns Night

In honour of Robert Burns's birthday (he would be 252 today) here are four photos of monuments to him I spotted while travelling the world.

Cape Town:


Ballarat:


Melbourne:


Dunedin:


If you're seeking your own Burns monument can I suggest you visit the NEWLY-OPENED Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Alloway.  That I helped to create it is only one reason I think it is  BEAUTIFUL.  Go now.  Tell them I sent you.

  1. The FT Weekend has a column where it says whether various (very expensive) things are worth the money or not. The Burns Museum got a resounding YES for being fabulous!
