Robert Burns Plaque Stanley Park

This statue of Robert Burns, Scotland's national bard, was unveiled by J. Ramsay MacDonald, a prime minister of Britain, on 25th August, 1928.

Robert Burns's sincere desire for friendship and brotherhood among all peoples is clearly shown in his many poems and songs. His poetry and letters, both serious and humorous are worthy of study by those who value liberty and freedom.

This memorial was rededicated on the 200th anniversary of the bard's death by the Burns Club of Vancouver.

Then let us pray that come it may

(as come it will for a'that)...

that man to man, the world o'er

shall brithers be for a' that.
