The Nuart annual street art festival in Aberdeen has been postponed over concerns about the spread of coronavirus.

Nuart was introduced to the Granite City for the first time in 2017 and was due to return again for a fourth time from 23-26 April.

It involves artists from around the world creating eye-catching designs on walls and the sides of buildings.

Organisers Aberdeen Inspired said the move was in the interests of safety.
