NS5765 : Oor Xavier
taken 6 years ago, near to Glasgow, Scotland
Oor Xavier' was designed by the children in Xavier House. Each child in Xavier was given the task of creating their own sculpture using 'school life' as their inspiration. Sections of 4 designs were then chosen by our House Captains and used to create 'Oor Xavier'. The bucket signifies the 4 House colours within the Junior School, the tartan trousers are for our Scottish heritage, the shirt symbolises our subjects and activities within the school and the rainbow hair and red nose - well, why not!

.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.
