Made by Fife artist Robert Mach, the sculpture helped launch the Oor Wullie Bucket Trail, which will see over 50 sculptures of the mischief-making comic book character appear on the streets of Dundee for 10 weeks over the summer.
Organised by The ARCHIE Foundation, Wild in Art and DC Thomson, the Oor Willie Bucket Trail aims to raise money to help create a brand new twin operating theatre and paediatric surgical suite for the Tayside Children’s Hospital at Ninewells.
