WATCH: Storm, Scotland’s largest puppet, has visited Dundee

Storm was making waves across Dundee today, as the 10m-tall puppet took to the city’s streets.

The sea goddess was created to encourage people to celebrate the seas and care for our coastlines.

In an event hosted by Sustainable Dundee, Storm started her visit in Slessor Gardens at lunch time.

Scotland’s largest puppet helped launch the opening of the city’s cycle hub as part of Hub Fest.

The gardens played host to stalls and information stands, a mobile bike track, Segway sessions, and upcycling and rewilding stalls.

After helping to open the festival, Storm made her way along the streets of Dundee.

She was spotted walking up Castle Street, along to City Square, through the High Street, down Union Street and along Dock Street before finishing back at the party in Slessor Gardens.

A performance from Urban Moves Dance Company bid her farewell before she continued her tour of Scotland.

Created from recycled materials

Hundreds of people lined the streets to see Storm, who is made completely from recycled materials.

Her eyes are the colour of oyster shells, her hair thick strands of kelp and her voice the chorus of the waves.

The giant puppet was created by Symon Macintyre and Kim Bergsagel and requires eight people to help her walk.

She was originally supposed to tour Scotland during 2020 to promote Cop26 in Glasgow. However, her trips were postponed due to the pandemic.

The climate change conference, which starts on October 31, aims to bring members of the United Nation together to find solutions to the global warming crisis.

Earlier this month, Storm made an appearance at the Anstruther Harbour Festival, where locals and visitors enjoyed traditional dance, street performers, and craft and food stalls.

Andrew Batchelor, from Dundee Culture, said it was great to see the puppet visiting the city.

He added: “It is excellent to see Storm awaken here in Dundee.

“It is a brilliant piece of innovation that many can take part in and enjoy.

“It also serves us a reminder that Storm was made in response to the ongoing climate crisis and it sends a message that we all need to do the best we can to reduce our carbon footprint.”
