Methinks you’ll need to do without me for about a week. However don’t go away too far!

So to the actual day of Burns’ birthday and a photograph of the Statue in Burns Statue Square in Ayr. It has been remarked that Burns has turned his back on Ayr, but I think that is because he is looking towards Alloway, his birthplace.

Today I thought I’d post a photograph of a modern statue of Burns to be found in the Ayr Central shopping precinct.

In March 1814, Alexander Boswell, son of James Boswell, first mooted plans to create a monument to Robert Burns. Eventually in 1823 the 70 foot monument opened. The location of this classic Grecian temple was selected for superb views of Burns Cottage, Kirk Alloway and the Brig o’Doon. From its roof, visitors can see the River Doon and the Carrick hills.

Since Burns, like myself, was partial to the odd libation or two, I thought I’d include a picture of one of the places he used.
Poosie Nansie’s has obviously undergone some updates since then.
(Just as a side comment, we’ve just finished the last of our Christmas cake – less concern about calories then!)
