One of the artworks in the Oor Wullie's BIG Bucket Trail. Oor Rail Bridge, created by Alice Newman, is located at the corner of George Street and North Castle Street.

The Forth Bridge is recognised as one of Scotland’s most loved landmarks and is a UNESCO world heritage site, attracting visitors from around the world. The artwork and facts dispersed around the sculpture tells the story of the bridge from its design and construction to the present day. See [LinkExternal link].
Oor Wullie’s BIG Bucket Trail

Oor Wullie’s BIG Bucket Trail ran for 11 weeks from 17th June 2019 – 30th August 2019. There were 200 Oor Wullies, mainly in the Scottish cities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness. Scotland’s first ever national public art trail aimed to raise awareness and vital funds for Scotland’s children’s hospital charities.
There was also an Oor Wullie’s WEE Bucket Trail with over 300 wee Oor Wullie sculptures. These had been designed and created by wee yin’s and big yin’s at nurseries, schools and community groups.
Funds raised through the trail will support Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity, Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity, and the ARCHIE Foundation.
At the end of the Trail period, the individual art works were sold off at auctions in the five host cities.
