It seems this was originally a fountain, which has suffered various moves and reductions in glory, and that there is quite a move afoot to get the monument back to its former state and give it a place of importance, see http://www.midlothianadvertiser.co.uk/news/local-headlines/call-for-fitting-tribute-to-burns-in-dalkeith-1-2939840 , which includes reference to the Facebook campaign relevant to this - I don't have a Facebook account, but anyone who does can share their views about the monument.
