Donald Gordon and Dunedin's most famous statue |
* Donald Gordon (1950-55), a retired chemist who has worked at Speights Brewery in Dunedin for almost half a century, asked that very question – and the result is a wonderful book.
Robbie: The Story of Dunedin’s Burns Statue was launched at the brewery last month and is a fascinating insight into the background of Burns himself along with the controversy surrounding the erection of the city’s most recognised monument.
Donald’s book, which sells for $25, is available at most Dunedin bookstores, the Otago Settlers’ Museum, Speights Brewery Tours shop and the Scottish Shop in Dunedin. It can also be ordered from Avon Publishers, P.O.Box 231, Dunedin.
