Four versions exist, in New York City (United States), Dundee (Scotland), London (England), and Dunedin (New Zealand). New York statueThe memorial sculpture in Manhattan's Central Park was cast {{circa|1880}} and dedicated on 2 October 1880.[1][2] It was the first statue of Burns to be erected outside Scotland and was a gift to the City of New York from Saint Andrew's Society of the State of New York and the Scottish-American community. For this sculpture Steell closely followed the portrait of Burns painted by Alexander Nasmyth in 1787. Seated on a tree stump with a quill pen in one hand, Burns looks up to heaven. He is thinking of his true love Mary Campbell, who died at an early age. It was to her that he had written the poem "To Mary in Heaven" inscribed on the scroll at his feet. The statue is located at {{coord|40|46|12.5|N|73|58|21.0|W|type:landmark}}. The Scottish and English statues{{Multiple image|align=right|image1=Robert Burns statue, Dundee.jpg|width1=150|image2=Statue of Robert Burns, Victoria Embankment Gardens.jpg|width2=131|footer=The statues in Dundee and London}}The Dundee statue was unveiled only two weeks after the one in New York in 1880 and the third cast was erected on the Thames Embankment in London in 1884. The Dundee statue is located at {{coord|56|27|44.5|N|02|58|19.0|W|type:landmark}} and the London statue is located at {{coord|51|30|30.5|N|00|07|18.5|W|type:landmark}}. Dunedin statueThe Dunedin statue was the last of the set to be unveiled on 24 May 1887.[3] A statue of Burns was deemed relevant to the city, both because of the city's Scottish roots (it was founded by the Free Church of Scotland in 1848), and also because one of the city's founding fathers was Rev. Thomas Burns, a nephew of the poet. In likeness, it is closest to the London statue. There had been discussion whether to place the statue in front of the railway station, but an elevated placement in The Octagon, the central plaza of Dunedin, was eventually chosen.[4] The statue was unveiled by Miss Burns, a great-grand niece of Robert Burns. Speeches were given by former Governor and Premier of New Zealand Sir George Grey, and Richard Henry Leary, the Mayor of Dunedin.[3] Because of its placement on what is now known as the McMillan terrace, the statue is the backdrop to many public speeches. On 27 July 1988, the statue was registered by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust as a Category I heritage structure with reference number 2208.[4] The statue is located at {{coord|45|52|26.5|S|170|30|11.5|E|type:landmark}}.
