This fine statue of Robert Burns and his printer, John Wilson (who printed the first edition of Burns poems close to this very spot) was unveiled in the 1990s by Princess Anne. Sandy Stoddard was the sculptor, whose other works include the statue of David Hume on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh and the sculptured friezes in Buckingham Palace in the Queen‘s Gallery. You can find this statue at the Kilmarnock Cross just opposite the ‘Burns Shopping Mall’ and it's well worth a look if you’re in the town.
