Robert Burns Memorial, Stanley Park, Bronze memorial in Stanley Park, Canada

The Robert Burns Memorial is a statue of the Scottish poet standing on a tall, light-coloured stone plinth at the southern approach to Stanley Park, near Coal Harbour, with Burns facing the southern entrance. A plaque on the front bears his name above reliefs of scenes from "To a Mountain Daisy" (1786), "The Cotter's Saturday Night" (1785) and "Tam O'Shanter" (1790).

The Robert Burns Memorial was dedicated on August 25, 1928, and was the first statue erected in Vancouver. It stands in Stanley Park, where the poet faces the southern entrance near Coal Harbour.

The plaque on the front carries Burns's name above three reliefs of scenes from his poems: "To a Mountain Daisy" (1786), "The Cotter's Saturday Night" (1785) and "Tam O'Shanter" (1790). Visitors can pick out these carved scenes below the poet's name.

The memorial is located near the southern entrance of Stanley Park by Coal Harbour and provides easy access from downtown. Visitors should come prepared for the proximity to water and can visit the site year-round, though the views are especially rewarding in good weather.
