The Lobey Dosser Statue is a quirky tribute to Bud Neill, a Scottish cartoonist famed for his work in the 1940s-1960s and subsequent cult following. The statue depicts Sheriff Lobey Dosser and his trusty companion, El Fideldo (Elfie), a two-legged horse, alongside their nemesis Rank Bajin. It represents a unique piece of Glasgow’s cultural heritage, transporting the city’s humor to a fictional Wild West town called Calton Creek. Erected in 1992 by public subscription, it is believed to be the world’s only two-legged equestrian statue.
Fans of Bud Neill’s work, those interested in Glasgow’s cultural history, and visitors looking for quirky, off-the-beaten-path attractions.
