One of the most beautiful universities
The University of Aberdeen is one of the most traditional institutions, not only in Scotland, but in the UK as well. It was officially founded in 1495, and is the third oldest in Scotland (after St. Andrews and Edinburgh) and the fifth oldest in the United Kingdom (The first were Oxford and Cambridge).
This prestigious university has several buildings spread out in different locations, but certainly the most important are the King's College (1495) located in the Old Aberdeen area and Marischal College (1593) in the New Aberdeen area. Both institutions were added in the nineteenth century as a part of the campus of the University of Aberdeen. The Kin's College (the "real school") facilities are spectacular, and make it one of the major cultural attractions of the city.
