Old Aberdeen Sights

Old Aberdeen Sights

This selection of images from our photographic collection looks at King's College and the surrounding area.

"So let us walk together down this street,
a father and a son perhaps, in light
of supernatural clarity and granite

sparkling with a memory and a present fire.
The cobblestones are shaky. O for fear
that we fail or falter let us walk together

in the common merciful air so bright and green
in ancient solid vanishing Aberdeen."

(An excerpt from 'Return to Aberdeen University' by Iain Crichton Smith)
