A charity walk, which was held in the north-east for the first time last month, has raised more than £50,000 for people affected by cancer.
Nearly 400 walkers were involved in Maggie’s Aberdeen’s Culture Crawl which took in the sights and sounds of the Granite City.
The route was kept secret from the participants until they arrived at the charity’s centre on Westburn Road, where they were issued with a map outlining the 10-mile route.
And, among the highlights on their journey was a performance from the St Machar’s Cathedral choir in the church.
Walkers were also treated to a colourful aerial, pole and acrobatic display in the iconic Marischal College quad.
And the group also gained the chance to wet their whistle and have a bite to eat at a barbecue which was held at Transition Extreme.
Pubs and restaurants en route welcomed walkers as they advanced to the David Welch Winter Gardens in Duthie Park.
The first group crossed the line at 9.30pm and the last arrived shortly before 1am.
Paula Cormack, the centre’s fundraising manager, said: “Aberdeen is an incredible city and the culture crawl helped to showcase the best of our area, the people and our food and drink. The walk was fabulous and the weather on the day was tremendous.
“The event has raised an astounding amount for the centre, which is so important in ensuring that we can continue to offer Maggie’s unique programme of cancer support in the north east.
“All of us here at the centre and all the many visitors who rely on Maggie’s are incredibly grateful for the support shown towards the charity.
“There are so many people who contributed to making this event the great success that it was – our sponsors, the venues and performers, all our brilliant volunteers and, of course, the hundreds of people who walked on the night to raise so much money for Maggie’s.
“The feedback from everyone involved has been incredibly positive and has encouraged us to make this a regular feature in our fundraising calendar, so watch this space for next year.”
