Clan’s latest sculpture trail has raised over £200,000 for the cancer charity after being sold at auction.
The Big Hop Trail took people of all ages across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray and even the islands to try and catch a glimpse of the hares.
Each of the 92 hares represents a year of Clan’s commitment to supporting people affected by cancer.
More than 3,500 people visited The Big Hop Trail’s Farewell Event at The Music Hall in Aberdeen last weekend ahead of the auction.
And tonight’s auction has raised £202,600 for Clan Cancer Support.
Where did tonight’s auction take place?
Tonight’s auction started at 7pm and took place at Aberdeen Music Hall.
All of the hare sculptures are set to go under the hammer as celebrity auctioneer Charles Hanson lead the proceedings alongside radio personality Claire Stevenson.
In total 40 large hare sculptures and five specially commissioned mini leveret sculptures sold at auction this evening with bidding starting at £1,000 per sculpture.
