Wally dogs is a term of Scottish origin referring to ornamental ceramic figures. In Scotland they are known as "Wally dugs". Traditionally made in pairs and displayed on a mantelpiece. Many were made in the Staffordshire potteries in Victorian times, however all those pictured here are Bo'ness-made.
