Police on Urquhart Road in central Aberdeen.
The death of a 51-year-old man is being investigated by police after his body was found inside an Aberdeen flat.
Police arrived on Urquhart Road in the centre of the city at around 12.10am on Wednesday.
Two police cars and a van were at the scene earlier this afternoon, and three officers are currently on patrol outside the cordon with a forensics team within the flat.
Due to roadworks, the road has largely been blocked off with a one-way system in place.

A police spokesman said: “Around 12.10am on Wednesday, 10 November, officers were called to a property on Urquhart Road, Aberdeen following the death of a 51-year-old man.
“The circumstances around the death are currently being investigated.”
One neighbour said he saw officers arrive after midnight with most of the police activity taking place in the early hours.
A larger area outside the flat was cordoned off in the morning as police carried out their investigations.
