This one makes me tear up. Damn we had so much fun.
Woken by thunderstorms this morning, but by the time we got on the water, things had brightened up and we were ready to go!

It was absolutely fantastic to see the Tall Ships from the water. We’re going to remember this weekend for a long time.

Not long until the 2026 edition brings light and colour to Aberdeen’s dark nights.
Spectra 2025 is just about here so wrap up warm and head out into the dark with friends and family for a brilliant weekend of light and colour.

Remember when these guys sailed into town?
Let’s GOOOOO! The Tall Ships crew parade was brilliant fun. These guys really put on a huge amount of effort to put on a show!

This was a really cool event that not too many people saw. It felt very special, and the artist, David Bellingham, used a still from this for his annual postcard to supporters.
We told you to go see this display, didn’t we? It was very cool to be there. Exciting, ephemeral and just a wee bit chilly. The only evidence of its existence is a few social media posts.

It’s wild that this was only 9 months ago. So much has happened in Aberdeen this year that this feels like it could’ve been years ago.
We have a feeling this mural of Denis Law just became an Aberdeen landmark.

Great work by Ketones6000!

We worry about the falling number of permanent small art venues in Aberdeen.

Still so sad that The Blue Lamp is closing. There are so many music communities centred on this 75 year old venue that will be left without a home.

Sure, some will find a new venue, but many will just quietly disappear 😞
