Leith Burns Club were instrumental in erecting a statue to Robert Burns in Leith, first writing with the suggestion to the Town Council of Leith in 1894, then writing again in 1897, stating that the Club had commissioned David Watson Stevenson to execute a bronze statue of Burns, to be erected in July 1898, and asking for a site at the foot of Leith Walk. This site was granted in January 1898. The bronze panel on the front of the pedestal, which depicts a scene from 'The Cottar's Saturday Night' was funded by Leith Burns Club.
