Oor People
One of the artworks in the Oor Wullie's BIG Bucket Trail. Oor People, created by Margaret Fraser is located at the corner of Wilson Street and Candleriggs, Glasgow. See [Link] for another view.

Oor Wullie is sharing his love of his country. Wullie sports the Saltire complete with a thistle in his front pocket. He’s also wearing a heart on his back pocket (not on his sleeve), proclaiming his pure love and cheek for his home country. 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.
