Aberdeen Nuart street festival gets under way

Putting the finishing touches to one of the art works

The third Aberdeen Nuart street festival is officially getting under way, featuring artists from around the world.

Artists have spent recent days working on their creations on walls and the sides of buildings around the city.

They include an eye-catching work by artist Vhils (Alexandre Farto) near Union Square off Palmerston Road.
