Statue of Robert Burns, Bronze statue in Fenway-Kenmore, United States
The bronze statue depicts Robert Burns walking with his dog Luath, standing nine feet tall on a granite base in the Back Bay Fens.
The Burns Memorial Association of Boston organized a competition in 1910, leading to Henry Hudson Kitson creating this statue, which was dedicated by Governor Calvin Coolidge in 1920.
The statue represents the connection between Scottish and American heritage, with regular gatherings for poetry readings and Burns Night celebrations taking place at its location.
Visitors can find this public monument in the Back Bay Fens area, where it returned in 2019 after spending forty years in Winthrop Square.
During its time in Winthrop Square between 1975 and 2019, many people incorrectly identified the statue as a representation of John Winthrop.
