Oor fingerprint fun
One of the artworks in the Oor Wullie's wee Bucket Trail. Oor fingerprint fun, created by Callander Primary School is located inside the Mitchell Library in Glasgow.

We wanted our design to include a contribution from all of our children which led us to think about finger printing and painting. Our design is made up of over 250 different finger prints, the whole school has played a part in creating our sculpture. This sculpture is sponsored on behalf of Alexander MacKenzie.

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.
