More than 400 people took part in a charity event through the streets of Aberdeen yesterday.
The Clan Landmark Walk, now in its second year, led participants on either a 13-mile route, or a shorter version coming in at just under eight miles, around some of the most interesting sights the city has to offer.
Clad in the colours of the Go Purple for Clan campaign, the walkers set off from Westburn Park at 10am.
The full route took them to Duthie Park via Queen’s Road and Union Street before following the river up to the city centre.
They then walked along Beach Boulevard as far as the Bridge of Don before going back to Westburn Park through Old Aberdeen.
Almost 300 marshals assisted along the route.
Susan Crighton, Clan’s fundraising manager, said: “This is the second year we’ve held our Landmark Walk and the level of support we’ve witnessed towards the event, from individuals, businesses, walkers and volunteers, was incredible.
“I’d like to thank each and every one for their invaluable contribution.
“To see Westburn Park transformed into a sea of purple was really something, it has been a special day and we’re delighted with its success. It has been great for raising both funds and awareness for the charity.”
As well as the walk, the charity organised a family fun day in Westburn Park, where attractions included water zorbing, a bouncy castle, an inflatable assault course and a surf simulator.
First Bus’s Clan bus made an appearance on Beach Boulevard, marking the nine-mile point on the walk, and the Guarana Street Drummers were on hand to provide entertainment at Westburn Park and give walkers a final push on the home straight.
The event, which was sponsored by commercial law firm Bond Dickson for the second year, raised more than £40,000 in 2013. Organisers hope to exceed that target this year.
The money raised will allow Clan to continue providing free support services to anyone affected by cancer in the north-east of Scotland, Moray, Orkney and Shetland.
