Walks & Trails

Dundee has an increasing number of trails and interesting walks, marked by plaques and statues.

Unique to Dundee the Dundee Woman’s Trail celebrates the famous women with links to the City.

This walkable trail is marked with blue plaques around the City Centre.

During the summer of 2016 the city played host to a huge public art event with fifty-five 5ft tall sculptures of Oor Wullie sitting on his bucket.

All of these sculptures have been decorated by artists and designers are located around the city.

At the end of the summer they were auctioned off with the proceeds going to a local charity.
