The event we've all been waiting for: Granite Noir starts today!
Where do these chill winds sway? Is it towards an alley, tucked between the Central Library and St Mark’s? Is it in the hidden passages that lead to the Belmont Filmhouse? What dark things wait for us there, only one billboard can tell us… Granite Noir is back in Aberdeen.
