Watch out – dinosaurs will be about in Aberdeen city centre this weekend.
Several impressive brick models in the shape of prehistoric giants have been stationed across 14 spots in the Granite City.
They form a new dino trail launched by Aberdeen City Council which runs for two weeks, starting Saturday October 12.
Locations such as Marischal College, Union Square, and Central Library have been picked to showcase the impressive beasts, created by designer Iconic Bricks.
The council hopes the event will encourage families to explore the Granite City.
It has also waived fees at two parking spots.
Denburn and Frederick Street car parks will each have free parking for the last three weekends in October and the first in November.
Seven car parks will also be charging £1 for parking between 5pm and 8am the next day.
Q-Park at the Trinity Centre will also offer 20% off pre-booked parking with the code ABRDN20.
