Hundreds of spectators turned out at the weekend for Aberdeen’s annual homage to Scottish war hero William Wallace.
People gathered around the statue of William Wallace, between Rosemount Viaduct and Union Terrace, for the 14th annual Wallace Day commemoration on Saturday.
The event celebrating the Renfrewshire-born icon, and one-time Guardian of Scotland, is held every year around the anniversary of his death.
Pipers and drummers from the Kintore and Portlethen pipe bands provided the 400-strong crowd with some rousing music during the 90-minute commemoration, organised by the Wallace 700 Association.
Lord Provost George Adam laid a wreath at the feet of the statue of Wallace to finish off the day’s celebrations.
Secretary John Mackay said this year’s event had been even busier than usual, as the international market on Union Terrace had drawn tourists from around the world to witness the spectacle.
He said: “To see people from India and China coming along and getting into the spirit was really encouraging.
“Wallace is an inspiration across the world. The principles that he stood for are the same principles we should today adhere to.”
