Wullie, Yer A Pure Dancer
Wullie, Yer A Pure Dancer
One of the Oor Wullies from the 2019 Oor Wulli'e Big Bucket Trail. One of the charities supported by the trail was Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity, so it is very appropriate that this and another Oor Wullie NS5365 : Life in Glasgow have ended up beside the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow.

This sculpture by artist Ceri White represents Oor Wullie oot enjoying the Glasgow nightlife. He is dressed to the nines and sitting on his mirror ball bucket, ready for the dancin’. 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.
