Hundreds of protestors marched through the streets of Aberdeen last night two months after the alleged murder of Scots mum Jill Barclay.
Campaigners from Reclaim the Night gathered by torchlight demanding changes are made to the city so women can safely walk the streets at night.
Mum-of-two Jill was allegedly attacked in the Dyce area on Saturday, September 17, while she was walking home. The 47-year-old's body was discovered near an address on Stoneywood Road at around 3.30am.
Rhys Bennett, 22, was arrested and charged in connection with Jill's death. He will stand trial accused of murdering Jill along with a second allegation of attempting to defeat the ends of justice.
A minute's silence was held in remembrance of Jill and other women who have died, Aberdeen Live reports.
Aberdeen Women's Alliance (AWA) organised the event on Friday night in the wake of Jill's death and was spearheaded by Aberdeen Labour leader Sandra Macdonald.
Councillor Macdonald has previously said Jill's death had heightened everyone's safety concerns across the city.
Fiona Rennie, convenor for AWA said: "Jill's death has impacted the local community. With the dark nights happening people are going home at 3pm as they don't feel safe in the dark.
"This march is for every single woman in Aberdeen. How many people are not going out in the dark anymore because that [Jill's death] has happened?
"Since coronavirus, taxis are not as frequent in the city centre and people don't feel safe walking home alone in the dark.
"It is so important to stand up and say we are here. It is a show of unity to highlight what is happening. It needs to be known that we want to be walking the streets safely."
Aberdeen councillor Lynn Thomson tweeted: "Great turnout tonight too for the Aberdeen #ReclaimTheNight march. A sobering thought that these marches are *still* necessary after all these years."
