Thousands of people have marvelled at new Nuart murals in Aberdeen as part of a weekend of events in the city

The four-day event, which concludes today, has centred on massive works of arts that have transformed buildings.

However, it has also featured a series of events aimed at encouraging members of the public to get creative themselves.

Chalk Don’t Chalk has taken place throughout the weekend with kids of all ages encouraged to add their own touch of colour to the Marischal Collage quad.

Meanwhile, free public tours were also run for people to learn more about the artists and their mural designs.

Our photographers also took to the streets of Aberdeen for Nuart to capture the best moments for our dedicated gallery.
