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.

Loved and loathed...
The 1960's tower block of St Nicholas House looms behind the ornate granite spires of Greyfriars Kirk. St Nicholas House is the main office of Aberdeen City Council and is scheduled for demolition when Marischal College is refurbished. Greyfriars Kirk is the southern end of the Marischal College complex - the world's second largest granite building, after the Escorial.

Marischal College
Seen from Broad Street, Marischal College was one of the two colleges that came together in 1860 to form the University of Aberdeen. This building dates from 1837-44, although the foundation of the college is much older. It is said to be the second largest granite building in the world, but it is no longer used by the university and has been leased to Aberdeen City Council who will use it as their new headquarters. However, this has meant the demolition of all but the facade of the building and the large cranes bear testimony to the work that is taking place.
