King's College was the first university in Aberdeen, the third in Scotland and the fifth in the British Isles. Its was founded in 1495.
Construction of the chapel began in 1498; it was dedicated as church in 1509. Now its a part of Aberdeen university old campus. Still daily regular service and a venue to hire for wedding or music concerts.

King’s College Chapel in Aberdeen is an impressive historic monument, over 500 years old. Built in the late Gothic style, the chapel stands out with its unique crown tower and refined architectural details.
Here lies the tomb of Bishop William Elphinstone, the founder of the University of Aberdeen in 1495, a remarkable figure who had a significant impact on Scottish education and culture. The chapel remains a place of reflection and a symbol of the city’s academic heritage.

Day and night, winter, spring, summer and autumn, Kings College is beautiful. One of my favourite spots in Aberdeen. The Chapel stands out for its Crown Tower. It has a beautiful community.
