Archway at King's College

I had a walk across the campus today in beautiful sunshine and thought I should take the chance of capturing a blip. This is an old archway that leads to New King's, the building on the right. From the top, the coats of arms are those of Scotland, Bishop Elphinstone (the Uni founder), and the University of Aberdeen. The Latin inscription is the motto of the University "Initium Sapientiae Timor Domini" (fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom). Nobody really mentions this motto nowadays.
