Outside the Palm House is a fountain, this is what it says on it

Directly across the park from the front doors of the palm house is a monument to Scotland's favourite son Robert Burns, this monument was dedicated in 1902. I just had to get a few photos

Thanks for these! Almost as nice as our botanical garden here in STL

And is that polo PLEATED?!?

**McMurdo** · 24th May 09, 04:30 PM

Almost as nice, well OK as I've never seen yours I'll take your word for it. The polo does have horizontal lines on it, but hey I got at a Highland Games last year for $5.00 so stripes or not I like it.

It really was a great day to be there as it has been warm, the gardens were filled with people. It really is easy to forget that you are in the middle of the city once you get inside. Here are some photos.

Doing a few poses
