  • Telescopes in Our Collection, Approximately in Date Order
    ©JSR2006/2009 Historic telescopes at the University of Aberdeen Historic telescopes at the University of Aberdeen Notes by Dr John S. Reid, Cruickshank Lecturer in Astronomy & Meteorology, Department of Physics. Jan 2006. Astronomy has always fascinated people of vision and imagination and it is both appropriate and fitting that some aspects of astronomy have been taught to students at the University of Aberdeen for many centuries. We have never had a separate Department of Astronomy but astronomy still forms a significant element of our degrees in Physics. Courses are also given at both levels 1 and 2 that are aimed at a wide range of BSc students and scientifically interested MA students. There are records over the centuries of interested staff acquiring telescopes on behalf of the University, extending right back to the early days in which telescopes could be purchased, namely the first quarter of the 18th century. We still possess and treasure a significant collection of historical telescopes. Not all of the recorded telescopes survive but we have by way of ‘compensation’ three late eighteenth century and nineteenth century instruments for which no acquisition records have yet been found. Over the centuries many observations have been conducted from University grounds, windows and rooftops but the University has built three observatories in the past two-and-a- half centuries. Only one survives, that on the roof of the Cromwell Tower of King’s College. The first observatory was built by Marischal College at the Castlehill in the final quarter of the eighteenth century using funds raised by public subscription.
