One of Scotland's most famous comic book characters, Oor Wullie, has been transformed as part of a charity art trail.
The first nationwide art trail to take place in the world, The Oor Wullie Big Bucket Trail will see the colourful character sat laughing upon his famous upturned bucket dotted across the country from Inverness to Glasgow during the summer.
It is hoped the trail of over 200 individually decorated statues will help raise thousands of pounds for children's hospital charities in Scotland. #OWBBT
