Aberdeen - Marischal College
|
|
On one side of Aberdeen's Broad Street stands the Marischal College. Founded in 1593 by George Keith, the fifth Earl Marischal of Dunnottar, it is the second-largest granite building in the world after Spain's El Escorial. Keith sought a Protestant counterbalance to the Catholic King's College in Old Aberdeen. Work started on the present college in 1837 with the 235ft/72m Mitchell Tower.
