Scottish rugby legend and MND campaigner Doddie Weir was in Dundee recently to meet and sign a sculpture designed in his honour.
The 48-year-old, who suffers from MND, signed the Oor Doddie statue at the city’s Olympia swimming pool Olympia.
It was designed by Kingspark art teacher Graham Farquhar as a tribute to Weir, who played as a lock and made 61 international appearances for Scotland.
The statue is part of the recently-launched Scotland-wide Big Bucket Trail, which follows the success of the first three years ago in Dundee.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
