Oor Wullie's BIG Bucket Trail!

The Scots Magazine’s very own ‘Wee Wullie Winkie’

This fun-loving, charity art trail has taken over the streets of Scotland this month, so we’re getting inside the creative minds behind some of the most stunning sculptures!

Oor Wullie’s BIG Bucket Trail is bringing a splash of colour and childlike joy to Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Perth and Stirling this summer. From June 17 till August 30, Scotland’s major cities will unite for 11 weeks with 200 life-sized sculptures of the nation’s favourite and forever young son, Oor Wullie.

As the first of its kind on a national scale, The BIG Bucket Trail aims to raise awareness and vital funds for Scotland’s children’s hospital charities. Following the event, there will be a series of nationwide auctions in the five host cities.

We sit down for a chat with one of the trail’s well-known artists and discover more about the minds behind the art.
