Oor Roughneck
The idea for Roughneck Wullie came from the North East's long association with the oil and gas industry. Oor Wullie may well have grown up to work on the rigs, and being a cheeky lad he would probably have smuggled Wee Jeemy moose out too. The artist, Catriona MacKenzie, a Milliner, wanted to create a sculptural Wullie with a hat, and her design fits the brief and adds some humorous touches with the logos on his bright coveralls.
