VIDEO: Scottish rugby legend Doddie Weir meets Oor Wullie statue designed in his honour

Scottish rugby legend and Motor Neurone Disease (MND) awareness campaigner Doddie Weir has visited Dundee to see an Oor Wullie statue created in his honour.

The 48-year-old, who suffers from MND, signed the Oor Doddie statue at the city’s Olympia swimming pool.

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.
