On a rough, unlit path that runs alongside the River Dee, a bunch of tulips still fresh in their wrapping stands out among the mangled beer cans and strewn litter.
The simple bouquet is addressed to Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, 32-year-old sisters, originally from Hungary but living in Aberdeen for about a decade, who vanished from this spot in sub-zero temperatures in the early hours of 7 January.
