Scope and Content View of Old Aberdeen by Captain John Slezer Old Aberdeen, originally known as 'Kirkton of Aberdon', was an episcopal burgh which grew up around St Machar's Cathedral and King's College on a north-south street layout. In the centre, the crown spire of King's College can be seen, with the Round Tower to the right. Behind the Round Tower is the Square or 'Cromwell' Tower (built in 1658 as accommodation for students). Most of the houses are simple one-storeyed buildings. In the centre is St Machar's, dominated by the spires of its two western towers. Eventually, Old Aberdeen was absorbed by the royal burgh of New Aberdeen, which by the late Middle Ages was one of the four wealthiest burghs in Scotland. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
