Whilst some granite used on the exterior, it seems that much (if not most) of it is also marble & concrete. Therefore, I doubt you can class it as a 'granite building', unless you want to say somebody with a filling is an amalgam human.

Suspect Device Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 On 09/06/2024 at 12:24, Hedgecutter said: A post on another thread about an urban 'myth' from uni had me thinking about the various urban legends doing the rounds out there. The well-entrenched one that pops straight to mind for me is Marischal College in Aberdeen being Hitler's favourite building in the UK, which he would have made a residence or HQ had he won WW2. I don't think any student can be in Aberdeen for over a week and not hear that one. I overheard somebody in Banchory say that it has the widest pavement in the UK after somebody beside him said "tell me something I don't know". I feel both proud and guilty about that one as I fabricated that blatant lie when passing an infilled bus stop and added it to the Banchory Wikipedia page when bored one afternoon. Some mod took it down a long time back once they started taking referencing seriously, but I'm entertained that at least one person still thinks it's true. Anyway, which urban myths/legends have you heard from your part of the land? Whether it's half the town or just a handful of people who genuinely think it's legit, let's get them shared...

I do think I'd heard it somewhere else though. back in the mists of time. A wee Google backs up the student angle.

It was David Bowie, Mick Jagger, or Prince in previous generations. I wonder which current pop star is the beneficiary of this rumour. I get the impression it was made up by auld farts who thought the young person music was being made by those homosexuals you hear about, much like the David Bowie/Elton John/Rod Stewart stomach pump story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
