I travelled to see Marishall College in Aberdeen, Scotland. Come join me there too. Welcome to Art, Culture & Travel with me, Anthony King.
Marischal College, founded in 1593, once stood as one of Scotland’s oldest and most distinguished universities. Its majestic granite facade, designed by architect Archibald Simpson in the 19th century, is an iconic symbol of Aberdeen’s rich heritage. Once dedicated solely to education, it now serves as the headquarters for Aberdeen City Council, blending historical significance with modern governance. Marischal College remains a highlight to Aberdeen’s enduring commitment to academia and civic leadership, embodying the city’s vibrant spirit and illustrious history as a centre of learning and culture in Scotland. This is not one of my favourite buildings in Aberdeen but is a favourite of many. It looks brand new…
