This is an unusual Burns monument in that it also honours John Wilson, a printer who was responsible for printing the Kilmarnock Edition of Burns first set of published poems. The monument has been sculptured with a classical theme. The monument has full sized bronze sculptures of both Burns and Wilson, dressed as gentlemen of the 18th century, but with pose and cloaks in the Greco-Roman style. To round off the classical them, the ensemble also has a bust of Apollo and Hermes next to the two men. I liked the allusion to the poet and the messenger.

This is a very meaningful monument, yet very simple in design. It commemorates when the men of kilmarnock asked for voting to be reformed in parliament as only 1 person in the whole town could vote. Situated in the grounds of kay park, definitely worth a look!
