Bruin the Bear
DescriptionThis bear was designed by Jamie Pringle and draws inspiration from autumn in Highland Perthshire, where orange-covered hills rise above the River Tay, capturing the wild, untamed beauty iconic to the Perthshire landscape. Bruin is a warm-hearted celebration of adventure, community and Scottish identity. Originally designed by Jamie and brought to life in 3D by Rio Moore, this collaborative piece combines flowing Pictish-inspired patterns with swirling forms that wrap around the bear’s body, creating a sense of movement, story and connection. The paw print on Bruin’s rear is a playful nod to the Bears Big Adventure trail, while his gentle expression reflects the welcoming spirit and values of the YMCA.
The Auction
A bear-illiant way to back Tayside’s youth!
At the end of the trail the sculptures will be sold at auction to raise much-needed funds for YMCA Tayside, supporting a variety of youth work services to young people aged 8-25, mainly from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Help us make a bear-y big impact!
