Merak – Find your BEARings
DescriptionFind your bearings with Merak the Bear. Named after one of the two pointer stars in the Ursa Major constellation, Merak helps guide you to the North Star, long used by travellers to navigate. The character was created by Jenni Wilson, a visual communications professional working as an animator, illustrator, and graphic designer. She produces bespoke content for print, film, and screen, and also creates stained glass art each summer
The Auction
A bear-illiant way to back Tayside’s youth!
After the trail ends, the sculptures will be sold at an auction evening on 17 September 2026 at the historic Scone Palace.
All money raised will support YMCA Tayside and our youth work services to young people aged 8-25, mainly from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Help us make a bear-y big impact!
