The Bamse Statue
On 17th October 2006, at Wharf Street, Montrose, overlooking the natural harbour, the statue of Bamse was unveiled by the Duke of York, Prince Andrew.
It was the culmination of a huge fundraising exercise to raise £50,000 that was met with an overwhelming response from around the world and in particular, Scotland and Norway.
The Montrose Heritage Trust had commissioned the work from Alan Herriot, the Edinburgh based sculptor and artist, who has extensive experience of large works for public spaces.
