The statue is by D W Stevenson and was gifted to the town of Leith by the Leith Burns Club and unveiled on 15 October 1898 by R C Munro Ferguson MP. It is bronze, cast by J W Singer and Sons, and stands on a plinth of red sandstone, with bronze plaques illustrating quotations from Burns' Poems. It originally stood 6 metres east of this spot but was moved in 1961 to improve traffic flow.
