I've copy-edited the article to remove the puffery as I see it. However the sources are not very good and many are in print only, or dead links, so I can't check them. In particular "Tam O'Shanter" is not so spelled, but "Tam o' Shanter"; but if it is depicted as the former on the monument it should be so here when used literally (in the bit describing the inscriptions).
It is unclear whether the height of the monument is a total or just the height of the pedestal.
I've cut some duplicate information that was in both the lede and the "History" section; the article is too short to need it repeating.
