A statue of poet Robert Burns by Henry Hudson Kitson is installed along The Fens in Boston's Fenway–Kenmore neighborhood, in the U.S. state of Massachusetts.
In the summer of 1975, the piece was moved, without permission, from the Fenway to Winthrop Square at Otis and Devonshire Streets, in the Financial District.
City officials assumed it had been stolen, but it transpired a developer named Ted Raymond was behind the move.

This was denied, but the city's arts commission offered up Burns' statue instead.
