Description: | St Machar's Cathedral and Dunbar's Hospital. Engraved landscape, view from the South-West with Hospital occupying site of Mitchell's Hospital. Trees in background, cottage edge on mid/centre, woman with basket (on head) and cattle in foreground right.
"Dunbar was 3rd Chancellor of King's College and built among others structures, a hospital demolished in the late eighteenth century. A view of the building appeared in the 1791 edition of William Orem's 'A Description of the Chanonry, Cathedral and King's College of Old Aberdeen in the years 1724 and 1725'. This depiction probably draws on that source. The women seen tending cattle in the foreground stress the rural nature of Old Aberdeen."
