Scottish Citylink is offering discounted coach travel for visitors to a Scottie dog-themed art trail.
The Scotties in the City public art trail, which will run in Glasgow from June 18 to August 16, aims to raise funds for Maggie’s, a charity that supports people affected by cancer.
The trail will feature colourful Scottie dog sculptures displayed throughout the city, transforming streets, parks and public spaces into an open-air gallery.

Scottish Citylink will offer discounted fares to visitors travelling to Glasgow to view the sculptures on selected days throughout the summer.
The company has also sponsored a Scottie sculpture.
Designed by artist Charlotte Cope, the travel-themed piece features Scottish landmarks from across the Citylink network.
Nicola Campbell, head of marketing at Scottish Citylink, said: “It’s a joy to be part of the Scotties in the City project – bringing travel, art and charity together in the most creative of ways.
“We’re looking forward to helping lots of people enjoy the Scottie sculpture trail by supporting their travel plans, and we can’t wait to see our finished Citylink-sponsored sculpture feature as part of the trail.
“Many of our customers and staff have received vital support from Maggie’s over the years, so this is an initiative that means a lot to us, and we hope it will help raise funds for the charity to continue helping even more people in the future.”
Businesses across Scotland are encouraged to sponsor their own Scottie sculptures.

“The trail has enormous potential to bring people together as well as raise awareness of causes, commerce and culture in the city.
“We are delighted to have Citylink on board as a Scottie sponsor, not only sponsoring one of our giant dogs on the trail but also as our travel partner offering discounted travel for people visiting the art trail around the city.
“At the end of the trail, we will host an evening where we will auction off our beautiful giant Scotties, with the aim of raising as much money as possible to help Maggie’s support as many people with cancer and their friends and family as possible.”
