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.
