A speaking statue paying tribute to ground-breaking Aberdeen physiologist has been unveiled at Duthie Park.
John J.R. Macloed has been described as an "insulin pioneer" after discovering the treatment in 1922.
The little-known scientist moved to Aberdeen when he was seven-years-old, attending Aberdeen Grammar School before studying medicine at Marischal College.
Professor Macloed later moved to Canada where he made his discovery, and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology in 1923.
Immortalised forever
Macloed's discovery is said to have saved millions of lives, including that of John Otto, who founded the JJR Macleod Memorial Statue Society alongside Kimberlie Hamilton.
Their journey began in March 2022 when the proposed site at Duthie Park was approved, before more than a year of design and planning work went into the project.
Otto told the Press and Journal: "As someone who has been dependent on daily injections of insulin for the past 50 years, it has been a surreal but gratifying experience to watch this long-held dream become a reality.
"I feel a deep sense of gratitude to JJR Macleod for giving me life, along with millions of others with type one diabetes around the world."
Scotland's first storytelling statue
The memorial has a unique QR code for visitors to scan to hear the statue come to life with a short documentary.
Hamilton, one of the trust's co-founders, wrote the monologue.
It's been voiced by Game of Thrones, The Crown and Dr Finlay actor David Rintoul, a native of Aberdeen.
