Scots Guard Wullie
The importance of our heritage is something Mik tries to think about when he designs his ideas. He is also an ex-serviceman so tend to find he is a bit patriotic too. This design is of Wullie as a Royal Scots Guard and the idea came about due to his hair looking like the iconic guard’s busby. His striking red jacket comes with shining buttons and gold brocade. On his collar is the Scots thistle insignia and his bucket is painted in the Scots Guard colours with their emblem on the front.
