William Elphinstone, who became Bishop of Aberdeen in 1484, was the first to conceive the idea of building a college in Aberdeen to be devoted entirely to education. He discussed this important subject with King James IV who took up the proposal with great good will and applied to His Holiness Pope Alexander VI for the necessary permission. A Bill was granted in 1494 and building began about 1500. The college was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin and at first called the College of St. Mary of the Nativity, later to be called King's College, no doubt on account of its association with King James IV.
The only part of the original work which has survived is the Chapel on the north side of the Quadrangle, from which this afternoon's Gaelic service is being relayed and in which Bishop Elphinstone is buried. The Chapel is notable for its exquisite carving which, according to one authority, has no equal anywhere in Scotland and few rivals in England.
