Institutionele geschiedenis
Aberdeen and North of Scotland College of Agriculture (NOSCA) was founded at meeting of the Board of Governors in 1904. Those present were local agriculturalists, council representatives from across Aberdeen and shire, as well as agriculture staff of the University of Aberdeen. Their formation was soon ratified by the Scotch Education Department.
NOSCA was housed in the Laboratories and classrooms of Marischal College in its early days, with courses taught primarily by university agriculture staff. The BSc degree courses in Agriculture were conferred by the University.
Craibstone Estate was initially leased by the college as a site for experiments and field work in 1908. The land was purchased from the Board of Trustees for Alexander Scott’s Hospital in 1912.
In 1969, the School of Agriculture was built on the corner of the University of Aberdeen’s campus at 581 King Street. The building housed classrooms, lecture theatres, laboratories and a library. The College's offices were located at 41½ Union Street near the centre of Aberdeen. These buildings would comprise NOSCA and SAC Aberdeen’s premises until the completion of the Ferguson Building at Craibstone in 1999. The old school of agriculture remained with the university and has since been renamed the MacRobert Building.
In 1990, the College became part of the Scottish Agricultural College (SAC).
