As the world comes to terms with the lasting effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, society faces significant challenges. As a leading global university, we’re confident education will play a vital role in solving those problems and relish our shared responsibility to respond to them. It’s something our community has always done. Together, we’ve expanded the depth of human knowledge and improved the lives of ordinary people. Research conducted here led to the discovery of chloroform anaesthesia, the Higgs boson particle and in-vitro fertilisation. Our academics, students and alumni discovered carbon dioxide, led the Scottish Enlightenment laying the foundations of contemporary thought, developed a genetically engineered vaccine against Hepatitis B, and identified the SARS Coronavirus. We have long enjoyed a spirit of innovation and collaboration and continue to do so today. We are proudly open to everyone, bringing people with new outlooks and perspectives together in an international community that is establishing the data capital of Europe, tackling climate change and paving the way for new fertility treatments. Our scientists are seeking cures for cancer, repurposing drugs to improve treatments for the Covid-19 coronavirus and contributed to the global search for a vaccine.

  • George Washington Wilson (1823-1893)
    George Washington Wilson (1823-1893) Photographically innovative and entrepreneurial in business, Wilson was the most notable, successful and prolific stereo-photographer in Scotland and perhaps the entire UK. Having trained in Edinburgh as an artist, he worked as a miniature portrait painter and art teacher in Aberdeen from 1848. He started experimenting with photography in 1852, probably realising that it could potentially supplant his previous profession. In a short-lived partnership with Hay, he first exhibited stereoviews in 1853 at the Aberdeen Mechanics' Institution. A commission to photograph the construction of Balmoral Castle in 1854-55 led to a long royal association. His photos were used in the form of engravings for Queen Victoria's popular book “My Highland Journal”. His best-selling carte-de-visite of her on a pony held by Brown (judiciously cropped to remove other superfluous retainers) fuelled the gossip surrounding this relationship. His portrait studio in Aberdeen provided steady cashflow and in 1857, to promote his studio, he produced a print grouping together famous Aberdonians, one of the earliest ever examples of a photo-collage. He soon recognised that stereoviews were the key to prosperity and by 1863 had a catalogue of over 400 views from all across the UK, selling them in a wide variety of outlets including railway kiosks and inside cathedrals. His artistic training helped him compose picturesque and beautiful images, but he was also an innovative technician, experimenting on improving photographic techniques, chemistry and apparatus, working closely with camera and lens manufacturers. He was among the very first to publish “instantaneous” views, ranging from a bustling Princes Street, Edinburgh to a charming view of children paddling in the sea, both dating from 1859.

  • On the National Debt
    ON THE NATIONAL DEBT T the æra of the Revolution no national debt existed ; i. e. no debt debtA borrowed on Parliamentary security, for discharging the interest of which, national taxes were imposed and mortgaged. It is one of the most astonishing facts in all the records of history, that in the century which has elapsed since that memorable event, a debt has been contracted by the Government of this country, which cannot be estimated at less than two hundred and fifty millions sterling ; a sum so vast, that it probably exceeds the whole aggregate value of the precious metals actually in circulation throughout all the kingdoms of the globe. A political phenomenon so extraordinary could not fail to excite the attention, and employ the sagacity, of the ablest statesmen and philosophers, closely connected as it is with considerations of the utmost importance to the welfare, and even the exigence of the state. In opposition, however, to the most confident predictions, and indeed contrary to every apparently reasonable ground of expectation, we find by experience, that the kingdom is not only capable of sustaining the pressure of this immense load, but that it exhibits plain indications of internal vigour, and even of increasing wealth and prosperity. That there is a point, however, beyond which the accumulation of the public debt must prove destructive and fatal, cannot be doubted ; and to this general conviction we owe the late institution of a permanent fund for its gradual redemption. It is well known, that in the year 1716, Sir Robert Walpole established a fund, distinguished by the appellation of the Sinking Fund, which was appropriated, under the authority of Parliament, to the sole purpose of redeeming the national debt, at that time amounting to about fifty millions.

  • Looking for Leisure. Court Residences and Their Satellites 1400-1700
    A Palace Designed for Diplomacy: Atholl in 1532 Marilyn Brown Looking for Leissure The erection of structures of a temporary nature related to royal palaces and designed for specific diplomatic and dynastic occasions is a well-recognised feature of medieval and renaissance culture in Scotland, as elsewhere in Europe.1 Few were as temporary or as individual as the palace of green timber which was erected for James V of Scotland and his guests in the region of Atholl in 1532.2 [Fig. 1] James had become king of Scots in 1513 at the age of one following the death of his father, James IV, at the battle of Flodden. This had been fought against the English forces of Henry VIII, his brother-in-law, in support of the King of France, Louis XII.3 Henry himself was at the time engaged in an invasion of France, attacking the city of Tournai.4 During the years of his personal reign following his emancipation from the regency of the earl of Angus in 1528 James had been to a considerable degree successful in re-establishing the authority of the Crown and respect for law across Scotland, where there was a particular problem in the area of the Scottish Borders with England.5 The maintenance of royal authority in the domestic sphere cannot be separated from the position of Scotland on the international stage with foreign powers, particularly England, anxious to support dissident magnates in the more remote regions of the country. 1532 was a very active year for European diplomacy, for the Pope, Clement VII, a member of the Medici family, for the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, for the king of France, Francis I, and, above all for Henry VIII, king of England.
