One of the few things to see in the Octagon. Statue is decently sized and there is quite a nice grassy area in the vicinity.

Didn't have much time to get a closer look since we were just passing through the Octagon and happened to go past it.

Robert Burns' statue can be found on the eastern side of the Octagon where he looks out over the CBD. The Octagon is a drop off location for cruise ship shuttle buses and there are often market stalls set up there selling all types of souvenirs.

The statue may be just a statue to some visitors, but to other visitors and to many Dunedinites and those living beyond, Robbie Burns is a representation of much of both the population's and the local culture's Scottish heritage.

History and necessity for a statue in New Zealand of a Scotsman aside, the statue of Robbie Burns is a VERY convenient place to plan to meet members of your party...
