This statue is by Henry Bain Smith (1857-1893) and was unveiled in September 1892. A great perch for gulls by the look of it.

The daisy held by the national bard recalls his popular poem “To a Mountain Daisy”, written at the plough in April 1786. Burns Personally identified with the daisy’s fate and despairingly reflected on his own circumstances at the time.
