Robert Burns' Mausoleum, Dumfries
After his death in 1796, Robert Burns was buried in the north east corner of the churchyard behind St Michael's Church (Image]); in 1817 his body was exhumed and reinterred in this mausoleum.
When it was originally completed, the mausoleum was externally unadorned, with its finish coming from the red sandstone it is made from. It was painted blue and white in the 1880s, apparently in an attempt to protect it from atmospheric pollution, and has since been painted plain white. The statues were extensively restored in the 1930s.
