Robert Burns Statue


Standing at the junction of Bernard Street and Constitution Street in Leith, this statue captures Scotland's beloved national bard. Burns wears a frock coat with his arm crossed over his chest, gazing out over the historic port area.


The Burns statue was designed by David Watson Stephenson and unveiled in 1898. Burns took a break during the recent trams project and was reinstated in 2022 to continue his watch over Leithers.
