Dunedin Writers' Walk

The plaques were installed to honour and celebrate the lives and works of writers with a Dunedin connection, many of whom were Robert Burns Fellows at the University of Otago.

The walk was the idea of local writer Lynley Hood, and was installed in 1993, with an initial eleven plaques.

with sober drops at the end of their cold Dunedin noses, with polite, old-fashioned sentences like, Pass the Cruet, and, later, attentive glorying in each other's roses.

People fling to Scottish music in Moray Place, ladies of the Salvation Army palm ribboned tambourines, and smiles shiver and snap in the cold.

"The Robert Lord cottage is now a residence for writers to come to Dunedin to contribute to the city's literary life."
