Six-foot-tall glowing tentacles snake through Aberdeen’s Broad Street, wrapping tightly around the city’s famous Robert the Bruce monument. Their multicoloured limbs glow against the heavy, onyx sky above Marischal Square. It’s February in North East Scotland, and it doesn’t get much more dreich than this.
These installations and displays from Spectra, Scotland’s Festival of Light, are the only beacon on this wintry night, before darkness descends again – and it’s time to coorie down (or snuggle) with a good book.
