The
renowned artist Alan Herriot was commissioned to create a unique bronze
sculpture to mark the 250th anniversary of the Bard's birth and the 2009
Scottish Year of Homecoming. He has work in private collections and on
public display throughout the UK, Ireland, Holland and France, including
the sculptures of a Highland Division piper at the House of Bruar, his
Miner at Newtongrange, and The Ancient Mariner at Watchet in Somerset.
The new sculpture is enhancing the Irvine Burns Museum and providing a
further fascinating visitor attraction.
