Scottish comedy icon Karen Dunbar took time out of their day to visit Bella the Beithir at Stockingfield Art Park at the weekend 🐍

We had such a great chat with Karen about the project and the exciting vision for what’s ahead💡

Bella is all about bringing people together and sparking real connections. This creative project isn’t just an idea, it’s a platform for social action and a force for positive change right here in North Glasgow.

Have you visited Bella to see how she is being brough to life? If not, take a stroll along the canal and share your photos with us 📸
