  University of Aberdeen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The University of Aberdeen is one of the ancient universities of Scotland.
The two universities in Aberdeen were merged on 15 September 1860 in accordance with the 1858 Universities (Scotland) Act, which also created a new medical school at Marischal.
The 1858 act stated that the "united University shall take rank among the Universities of Scotland as from the date of erection of King's College and University." The University is thus Scotland's third oldest and the United Kingdom's fifth oldest University.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The University of Aberdeen
The founder of this, one of the three universities established in Scotland in Catholic times, was William Elphinstone, who was Bishop of Aberdeen from 1483 to 1514.
Bishop Elphinstone had been a professor at Paris and at Orleans for nine years, and it was on the University of Paris, both as to form and organization, and also in its wide scope of general mental training, that the new establishment was modelled by its founder.
The two universities were united for a time (from 1640 until after the Restoration), and many schemes for their permanent reunion were promulgated in the 18th century; but it was not until 1859 that their fusion was finally affected, after much local opposition.
