Seen from Broad Street, Marischal College was one of the two colleges that came together in 1860 to form the University of Aberdeen. This building dates from 1837-44, although the foundation of the college is much older. It is said to be the second largest granite building in the world, but it is no longer used by the university and has been leased to Aberdeen City Council who will use it as their new headquarters. However, this has meant the demolition of all but the facade of the building and the large cranes bear testimony to the work that is taking place.
