Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Aberdeen in a pro-independence march on August 17th. The All Under One Banner (AUOB) event went ahead on Saturday after a wrangle about the costs involved in policing the event.
On Wednesday, Aberdeen City Council said it would allow the march and rally to go ahead with conditions.
Organisers claimed 12,000 people took part, however, Police Scotland estimated 4,000 to 5,000 participants.
The march was billed by AUOB as "the biggest demonstration the north east has ever seen" and followed similar events in other Scottish towns in recent months including Glasgow, Edinburgh and Ayr.
Supporters travelled from across Scotland and gathered in Albyn Place before the march set off along Alford Place, going through Union Street and Castle Street before ending in Castlegate.
