King's College, named for King James IV, was founded in 1495 to teach a classical humanist curriculum. It was built about 1498-1505 and was arranged around a quadrangle. The Chapel and Ivy Tower are the only original parts of this range to survive. The college is now part of the University of Aberdeen.
