Art trail
Save the date! Thursday 18 June – Sunday 16 August 2026
The Trail
In summer 2026, Glasgow’s streets will come alive with a trail of giant Scottie dog sculptures, each one transformed by a different artist into a colourful, larger-than-life work of art.
This free, family-friendly trail will offer locals and visitors alike the chance to explore the city in a whole new way!
The trail will also feature our wee Scotties, creatively decorated by local schools as part of our inspiring Learner Programme. And even when the adventure of the trail ends, the story continues. Each of our large Scotties will be auctioned to raise vital funds for Maggie’s in support of people with cancer and all those who love them.
Join us for a summer of art, community and paws-itive impact!
Coming to Glasgow 18 June – 16 August 2026.
