Focus on this artwork and discuss the Wreath-laying ceremonies.
A wreath-laying celebration is held annually at the monument. The annual wreath-laying ceremony, which by tradition begins at 2:00 pm, is held on the Sunday nearest to Robert Burns's birthday, January 25.  Local Scots, Burnsians, and members of the Saint Andrew's Society gather in celebration at the Burns Monument to recite poetry, play the bagpipes, and sing Burns's songs.
