King Charles to meet with refugees in Aberdeen
The announced road closures are due to King Charles attending a reception at the Town House in Aberdeen next week.
There he will meet with refugee families from Ukraine, Afghanistan and Syria who have settled in the north-east and hear about the challenges they have faced.
He will also have the chance to enjoy a musical performance from Dyce Primary School pupils and Robert Gordon University students.
The monarch’s visit follows after he and the Queen Consort travelled to Ballater on Tuesday and met with Aberdeenshire communities to thank them for their support following the Queen’s death.
