Buzzin'
Buzzin'
One of the artworks in the Oor Wullie's BIG Bucket Trail. Buzzin', created by Bronwyn Gilgallon is located beside Allan's Corner, Barrhead.

Buzzin' highlights how important bee conservation is to the survival of our planet. The fun design sees Oor Wullie's shoes covered in dirt, green grass merging up into blue skies with Oor Wullie’s head in the clouds. A few multi-coloured bees add to the fun. 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.
