About MeArchibald Simpson designed this Marischal College in the 1830s. Made from local granite it is a fine example of the work achieved by masons prior to the introduction of powered hand tools. The obelisk, also made of granite, was erected in memory of Sir James McGrigor, surgeon and prominent in the founding of the Army Medical Corp.
