Title
Gateway of Marischal College
Description
This image was digitised from <i>Artistic Aberdeen: A Sketch Book</i> (1932) by W. S. Percy. The book describes the scene as follows: "Gateway of Marischal College, one of the noblest features in many ways of Aberdeen's most notable building, a building which in certain of its aspects and composition has no equal in the world. Built of grey almost white granite, the college is the apotheosis of the city's main constructional substance. It's bright light beauty, has inspired many poets, including the late Thomas Hardy. The great window above the gateway is a masterpiece of the stained glass art of the great Scottish worker in this medium, Douglas Strachan."
