    Marshall College is owned by Aberdeen University, which is over 500 years old. The College is the 2nd largest granite building in the world. The building was renovated when the council took over the building.

    Thanks for visiting us, l am very proud of our city.
    Was known as the Silver City
    Won Britain in Bloom 9 times in a row
    Famous chip shops
    Annie Lennox from Aberdeen
    Union Street was once packed with pedestrians
    We like a good verbal fight on Facebook especially when the local paper puts out an article😅

    It's so interesting seeing tourists in my city and how much you appreciate the buildings! They're just so normal to me after seeing them every other day for my whole life. Marschal College is the City Council building not a college, it's very old it only looks new as the whole Broad Street area (the street/road) you was walking on had a major refit a few years ago and the buildings cleaned. the concert court is actually the city court so not really a building you want to be in, the high court is accross the road from it.
