Burns baby, Burns

As it’s Burns Night today’s walk took in the Burns statue on Bernard Street. The statue was in storage for several years to accommodate the tram works and, although it’s been back for a couple of years now, this is the first Burns Night since his return to Leith that Rabbie isn’t fenced in by road and tram works.

Extras - street art at Quality Yard, including a few shots of a work in progress (taken with permission of the artist).
