'Oor Wullie's Big Bucket Trail' - Life in Glasgow
“Life in Glasgow” is sculpture#15 on "Oor Wullie's Big Bucket Trail" in Glasgow. This sculpture was designed by 18-year-old artist Taylor McTaggart, a quadruple amputee who is a student of Glasgow Clyde College. Taylor used her time at college as the inspiration for this design in which Wullie is dressed in his dungarees, proudly representing the College tartan. His shirt also features the many subjects the College offers, while his bucket depicts the very best of life in Glasgow LinkExternal link (Archive 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.
