University of Aberdeen

King's College
Inside the Library
Originally called the King's College, University of Aberdeen was founded in 1495 and continues to offer bachelors, masters, and doctorate programs.  It is the third oldest university in Scotland and the fifth oldest in english speaking regions.  And I used to think 1876 was old for A&M!  I spent the afternoon exploring their picturesque buildings and obtaining a library pass to see the view from the seventh floor.  I spent a fair amount of time in the Library at A&M, especially during finals, and it's a good thing they don't have views like the Aberdeen library.  I would never study.  The ocean is on one side, and the hills and country side on the other.  If I ever write a book that will be the place I will curl up and type away.

The weather has turned chilly and I can't help but tilt my head in the hopes to hear the cheers of fall football, but I suppose I will just have to live with my radio broadcasts and the dots on the screen.

Cheers!  More for this weekend when Allen and I head off through the Highlands to the Isle of Skye.

    Sounds like you guys are having a great time :-) I don't recall any ivy growing on any of our old buildings...maybe some moss...and asbestos...but that's not quite the same. Wish I could see that view! It sounds AMAZING! Can't wait to hear about this weekend. I don't know anything about the "Isle of Skye...but it sounds awesome.

    The more time you spend with essay writing service, the more you come to know about that place and same is the case here. I have also visited Abardeen University once and was quite amazed to see the rich culture of the people who built the marvelous space for their generations to come to educate them and to be the best nation of the world.
