Aberdeen's Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and the Built Environment is the northernmost of the UK's architecture schools. It takes pride in its position; head of school David McClean recently wrote on 'critical north' - a way of using the distance to enable an independent view with space to carve out its own ideas. Its three MArch units - each with external visiting professors including Neil Gillespie of Reiach and Hall -play a strong part in this and in investigating Aberdeen itself, driven by oil and agricultural wealth, as well as going north to Orkney.
