Description: | Black and white photograph of St. Machar's Cathedral taken by White (1831-1904), an important early Scottish photographer.
"White (1831-1904) was an important early Scottish photographer. He graduated from Marischal College in 1848 but subsequent medical studies were abandoned when circumstances required him to take over the family flour milling business. An enthusiastic classical scholar he was a founder of the Aberdeen Hellenic Society. He gave up photography and turned to the collecting of painting c.1860. A member of Aberdeen University Court, he later received an honorary LLD. He was an early and important patron of the portrait painter George Reid whom he associated with many of the later projects at Aberdeen University in which he was involved.
