A giant Hollywood-style sign overlooking Dundee has appeared as part of the Beano-themed summer festival.
On Thursday night, locals spotted enormous lettering on a grassy mound at Dundee Law overlooking the city.
The installation is part of Dundee’s Beano-themed festival Summer (Bash) Streets Festival which will be running over the next 10 days.
It is understood works to complete the sign will finish tomorrow but for the time being the sign only reads ‘BEAN’.
Taking place all over the city, the event is hosting a variety of free and family-friendly activities.
Dundee City Council has worked closely with Beano Studios, DC Thomson and Dundee University to bring the festival to life.
The event’s programme features events, talks, exhibitions, screenings, trails, workshops, and performances across Dundee.
The ten day festival includes a pop-up history of comics, a Blamazing Beanotown trail map designed by Beano and free outdoor performance at City Square over the next two weekends.
On Sunday, families will get the chance to participate in the world’s first Dennis and Gnash Dash family fun run where participants will dress in red and black to resemble Beano’s very own menace.
The following Saturday will feature a character parade on July 23, with participants dressed up in their favourite comic costumes.
Meanwhile, a special exhibition inside DC Thomson’s Meadowside headquarters will give visitors a rare chance to see original artwork every day of the festival.
Festival partners across the city will be adding to the programme with their own family friendly activities in McManus, V&A Dundee, and DCA.
