Dunbar Street, Old Aberdeen
Looking towards St Machar Drive. The banner attached to the lamppost says 'Come here. Go anywhere. That's the difference.' - basically an advert for the University of Aberdeen.

Poignant memorial
A very striking mosaic coat of arms at the University of Aberdeen with a sad story. The arms are of the MacRobert Trust (Gules, on a chevron between three wolves' heads erased argent, as many thistles leaved and slipped proper; on a pile or three winged lions of the first). The lions commemorate Alasdair, Roderick and Iain, the three sons of Baron Alexander MacRobert, who each died in flying accidents or were lost in action: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacRobert_baronets . The motto means 'Not for self but for country'. Their mother Rachel (widow of Alexander) was a generous supporter of the University of Aberdeen and the School of Education block built in the 1960s is named for the family: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/858782 .

Campus Sculpture
This bronze lives in the courtyard of the Taylor Building. Not totally sure what it represents, but it reminds me of a slater (Aberdeen dialect for woodlouse)... Who would have thought such a charming animal had so many nicknames... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodlouse#Common_names
