Old Aberdeen

Well. I haven’t been super great about regularly posting – which means I could probably post things for years going forward. I do have some things to report about Isles and Trials too so stay tuned.

This is from University of Aberdeen’s website

“The most iconic of our buildings and located on the picturesque Old Aberdeen High Street, King’s College was built to house the University after it was founded by Bishop Elphinstone under a Papal Bull issued by Pope Alexander VI on 10 February 1495. Of the original College building, only the Chapel and the Ivy Tower, constructed in 1525 and now obscured by the college’s subsequent development, now remain, all other sides of the quad having been replaced over the following centuries. The college’s facade and main entrance arch, attached to the Chapel, date to 1825, while the Cromwell Tower behind the Chapel was built in 1658.”
