Crawford Niven created the image in his rye fields to raise money for research into motor neurone disease.The 1.5km depiction of Doddie being held aloft by teammates during a lineout is intended to help raise awareness and donations for research into MND, supporting the work done by MND Scotland and My Name'5 Doddie Foundation.Crawford, who first met Doddie in 2013 when the former British and Irish Lion officially opened the Gloagburn Farm Shop, named it 'Doddie Walk', at Gloagburn Farm, Tibbermore, Perth.Crawford said: "Doddie Weir was a giant of a man, not only in height but also in character."I can't think of a better way to show how huge an impact he has had and his legacy continues to have on rugby, MND research and Scotland.""I hope as many people as possible book a free ticket to experience the Doddie Walk and donate to My Name'5 Doddie Foundation."Do as many laps as you can and share this."Crawford, who left Strathallan School in 2015, has grown into one of the UK's top farming Youtubers with over 16.6k subscribers following his daily vlogs and adventures at the farm.The attraction is free to the public however donations can be made on entry to the Rye field or in cash.
