They say every Yin has its Yang...

Scotland has yet to produce it's Big Yang.

The world awaits. 2026 could be the year...

A little faded now this mural portrait of Connolly, one amongst three by different artists, around the city. This one has new construction next to it and may be lost, I hope not. 

A rather serous take on Billy Connolly by John Byrne (artist and play-write) from 2017. A white haired Connolly looks out to the left, wearing a black open necked shirt. Superimposed on his shirt is a banner in white with black text that reads 75BC-2017AD. Around the border the phrase “FLING THE CHUCKY IN THE WATTER SEE THE BAGGIE MINNOWS SCATTER - BILLY CONNOLLY”

(Throw the rock in the water, see the large minnows scatter)

Billy Connolly mural by Play-write/artist John Byrne 2017. Last chance to see perhaps, as there is building work going up next door.
