Glasgow has a new Scottie dog trail - here's all you need to know
A PACK of giant dogs is taking over Glasgow – but no need to panic. The Scotties in the City art trail for Maggie's cancer charity will see 50 beautiful sculptures brightening up streets across the city and its suburbs in 2026. At the end of the eight-week project, which was officially launched at the Trades Hall in Glasgow on Wednesday (June 18), the artworks will be auctioned off to raise money for Maggie's, who help families going through cancer treatment. (Image: Martin Shields) Hayley Smith, project manager for Scotties in the City at Maggie's, said: 'We hope this fun art trail, in partnership with Wild in Art, will play a key role in boosting the city's social, cultural and economic development and draw in visitors to experience the charm of our city. 'People travel far and wide to see art trails like this and many famous faces – such as Lorraine Kelly and Judy Murray - have bought sculptures from Wild in Art charity auctions in the past.' READ NEXT: 10 pictures that tell story of Glasgow school and its links to Hollywood 'I travelled and worked on the Glasgow ferries and they are much missed' Glasgow drugs trial will use genetics to end 'trial and error' approach to treatments I have incurable blood cancer but my symptoms were mistaken for menopause At the launch, which showcased Glasgow artist Douglas Roulston's sculpture Lochie, the charity put a call out for artists and sponsors to get on board. She added: 'Today's launch is a call out for businesses to get involved in sponsoring a giant Scottie sculpture, and a call out for artists to take part.' An educational programme will run alongside the project. Sixty schools can also apply for their own small Scottie, complete with resources and lessons pack, which they can design and decorate. The smaller sculptures will also form part of the art trail and be returned to the schools at the end. (Image: Martin Shields) Douglas said: 'I am honoured to introduce Lochie, the first big Scottie on the Glasgow trail for Maggie's. 'My artwork is inspired by the dramatic beauty of the Highlands and Islands. I have painted the beautiful landscape of Loch Lomond with Ben Lomond, the golf course, the loch itself and a few signature trees. 'Hidden on Lochie's chest is a heart shaped by the trees – a quiet reminder of strength, love and compassion which also sum up Maggie's and the great work they do in supporting families going through cancer.' Charlie Langhorne, managing director of Wild in Art, added: 'We are thrilled to be working with our friends and partners at Maggies on our first standalone trail in Glasgow. 'We are confident that our Wild in Art Scottie dogs will bring joy to both residents and tourists as they discover the trail and explore the city, and raise awareness and vital funds to support the invaluable work that Maggie's does to help people with cancer and their families.'

27 Torrid Items To Reinvent Your Style This Summer
A denim trucker jacket because every season deserves a tried and true staple that goes with literally everything. But, don't get it twisted. Every denim jacket isn't just a replica of another. This one features a trucker jacket silhouette and a distressed hem to set it apart from the others. Promising review: "I received this jacket in the mail yesterday and I like it. I feel like to could be styled with dresses, jeans and trousers depending on the look you are trying to achieve. IMO, the fit is true to size. Also, in my opinion, there is not a lot of stretch. I ordered a 2 and that's what i normally order in shirts, jackets and blazers. The sleeves hit right at the wrist. My favorite part of the jacket is the raw hem at the bottom. I will probably also purchase the darker denim. I would recommend." —Lovin All Things DenimPrice: $41.94 (originally $69.90; available in sizes M–6X and two colors) A sleeveless mini dress featuring pockets that reviewers can't stop raving about.
