Tunnock’s Oor Wullie –

Takes the Biscuit

The loveable loon Oor Wullie with the spiky hair isn’t just only 80 years young,  but he now takes the bucket as well as the biscuit with an art trail of sculptures of the scamp on display across Dundee. And one of them has just been revealed as a sculpture made from Scotland’s favourite Tunnock’s tea cakes. The scamp’s tea cake artwork was made by the Fife artist Robert Mach and is the first of fifty that will go on display in the city over the summer, before all are sold for charity at an auction in Dundee itself.  Mm I wonder if the wages will stretch that far myself?

Bucket Trail

The bucket trail is the brainchild of the ARCHIE Foundation, Wild in Art and the venerable publisher of the nation’s comics DC Thomson and it will help create two new operating theatres and a kiddies’ surgical unit for Ninewells ‘Tayside Children’s Hospital. Oor Wullie has spent his entire 80 year existence in Auchenshoogle, dodging plodding copper PC Murdoch with his pals Wee Eck, Fat Bob and Soapy Soutar and now he is doing a power of good for the appeal.

Good Enough for Any Bucket List

Now you should see this sculpture, it gives a lift to Scotland’s favourite tea cake and if you too want to give a lift to your tea and tea cakes try one of our special offers on porcelain. You can arrange your tea cakes on the two tier cake stand and sup the lovely warming brew in a cracking good cup and saucer with no fear of Oor Wullie or Fat Bob popping round to make away with your cakes. And of course there is a reduction or three on the china.
