About MeNegative taken from a roadway looking through a large ceremonial arch, with crowds either side of the road.

Across the top of the arch is an inscription "WELCOME TO BON ACCORD" with a lion's heads both sides and surmounted by the royal coat of arms. Wooden barriers appear to have been built at chest height on either side of the roadway - some people are seated on these. Temporary barriers are obstructing the road through the arch. There are rows of one and half storey houses in the background, beyond the arch.
