'Bruin' by David Annand

'Bruin' by David Annand
Dundee, United Kingdom (GB)
Erected in 2021, this sculpture by artist David Annand & commissioned by the Dundee City Council commemorates an event that took place in the vicinity in November 1878. As the story goes, a large polar bear escaped his handlers and caused havoc for several hours before being gently apprehended.

This arctic animal was named “Bruin,” an English folk term for brown bear. He was 1 of 2 that were in an exhibition taking place nearby.
