Aberdeen University Campus is situated at King Street and are an easy 5 minute walk from Lillian Cottage Guest House. The University offers the opportunity for great learning and study in a diverse culture of knowledge.

For over five hundred years the University, in one form or another, has been an integral part of the city of Aberdeen. Its current status as a world leader in education and research are a far cry from its humble origins.

The growth of such an institution has been beset with problems from the beginning, often caught up in the political and religious strife of the period. Indeed the fact that the University has become what it is owes much to the determination and vision of a very few individuals.

The story of Aberdeen University cannot be told without referring to these individuals; however, there are many countless others whose involvement must not be forgotten.
