Marischal College is a Category A Listed building in the centre of Aberdeen City. The college was founded in 1593 by George Keith, Earl Marischal as a protestant alternative to King's College (1494). The building itself was designed by Archibald Simpson as a large Tudor-Gothic granite collegiate complex based around a central quadrangle and courtyard. It was constructed in 1837-44 and became Aberdeen’s largest granite building and one of its most striking landmarks defined by its scale, quality of design, materials and workmanship.
