Walking tours of the city attracted large crowds as seen by Terry Charleton.
Expert guides promised a “walking experience unlike any other”.
The walks were a chance to take in the new pieces produced during Nuart Aberdeen 2022, along with smaller, hidden art treasures.
Also on show were well-known works from previous Nuart editions, along with the chance to hear the talking points behind this year’s festival.
If you missed the weekend’s walk, do not fret, Nuart Aberdeen will be running weekly Summer Street Art Tours covering two new routes, east end and west end, that take in works from this year and previous years’ artists.

Of course it was back to black for THAT wall in the city centre.
With one of the most photographed over the last few days – it seems to be the wall on Langstane Place is a form of anticipation, of raising the stakes and of finding out just how art is moveable, changeable and a thing of wonder.
