Description: | This memorial to Robert Burns was raised in 1820 close to the cottage where Burns was born. It was designed in classical style by the architect David Hamilton. It has nine Corinthian columns supporting a cupola topped by three dolphins. The base was intended to be used as a meeting room and a repository for objects associated with the poet.
These prints are from albums compiled by Thomas Annan's firm. They did not appear in the published collections, although some were duplicated and advertised for sale from a catalogue of individual prints. No original negatives survive for any of them.
One view is a close-up and the other shows the monument in its position above the village and the River Doon. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0 | Publisher: | Glasgow City Council Libraries and Archives | Temporal: | 1820-01-01 - 1820-12-31 | Source: | Burns Scotland | Identifier: | Burns Memorial, Alloway | Go to resource |
