A Reclaim the Night march will see protesters take to the streets of Aberdeen two months after the alleged murder of Scots mum Jill Barclay.
Those walking in the protest on Friday will demand 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.

"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."
The event will begin on the city's St Nicholas Street at 5.30pm on Friday which
