Light the North trail
The Light the North lighthouse trail took people on a cultural tour of the north-east of Scotland, including Moray, Orkney and Shetland. Visitors discovered over 45 lighthouse sculptures designed and created by some of the area’s most talented artists.
The trail raised awareness and funds for the most significant cancer support charity in the region, CLAN Cancer Support. The charity shined a light of hope in the dark for anyone affected by cancer.

Former Burton Tailors building
The logo "Montague Burton the Tailor of Taste" at the top of the building seems to date from the 1930s: http://andrewsandpygott.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/dating-montague-burton-clothing/ . The ground floor is now occupied by a clothing shop more to modern tastes... Part of St Nicholas Kirk is visible to the right.

St Nicholas pedestrian precinct, Aberdeen
Aberdeen has very limited pedestrianized area compared to most cities, although there is drawn-out discussion about making part of Union Street more pedestrian friendly. Note all the junk: information boards, traffic lights, bureaucratic road signs, planters, litter bins, phone kiosks, CCTV masts... that clutter public space. The huge Corinthian columns of the Royal Bank of Scotland can be seen in the background.
