Robert Burns Memorial, Bronze monument at Dorchester Square, Montreal, Canada
The statue features a bronze figure of Robert Burns standing on a light pink granite base with three bas-relief panels depicting scenes from his poems.
The memorial was completed in 1930 by sculptor George Anderson Lawson, who created the original version for the city of Ayr in Scotland during 1892.
The monument represents the strong influence of Scottish industrialists and financiers in Montreal, with Burns facing toward Western Canada to symbolize their achievements.
Located at the western entrance of Dorchester Square, the memorial stands 511 centimeters tall and contains inscriptions about the poet on its granite base.
The three bas-relief panels on the monument illustrate scenes from Burns poems including Tam O'Shanter, To a Mountain Daisy, and The Cotter's Friday Night.
