Robert Burns Memorial, Bronze monument at Dorchester Square, Montreal, Canada

The Robert Burns Memorial stands at the western entrance of Dorchester Square: a brass figure of Burns with his right foot slightly forward and his right arm almost crossed above the left across his chest. It rises on a light pink sandstone plinth inscribed 'Erected by admirers of Burns', whose plaques give his name and years and carry the line 'It's comin' yet for a' that that man to man the world o'er shall brithers be for a' that'. Around the plinth, clockwise, are reliefs of Tam O'Shanter, To a Mountain Daisy and The Cotter's Friday Night.

The bronze statue is a replica of George Anderson Lawson's 1892 memorial in Ayr, Burns's birthplace. Montreal's version was unveiled on October 18, 1930, in Dominion Square on a cold, rainy day; the speeches stressed that it honoured both Burns's genius and the Scots' role in building the city. The square was renamed Dorchester Square, and its restoration began on July 8, 2009.
