Date of this event: April 27, 2013
Our inspiration for this walk around Old Aberdeen was to visit the Church of Scotland's St. Machar's Cathedral. Unfortunately, we didn't check the opening hours, and we arrived after the closing time. Instead, we had a wander around the church grounds before continuing our walk to the University of Aberdeen.

Thanks for joining us on this walk, Kristal and Steve!
"Founded in 1495 by William Elphinstone, Bishop of Aberdeen and Chancellor of Scotland, the University of Aberdeen is Scotland's third oldest and the UK's fifth oldest university. William Elphinstone established King's College to train doctors, teachers and clergy for the communities of northern Scotland, and lawyers and administrators to serve the Scottish Crown. Much of the King's College still remains today, as do the proud traditions which the Bishop began."
[Living in London makes me appreciate all of the space in and around many of Aberdeen's homes!]
