Paterson's Land. This building was opened in 1913 and replaced the new building of 1878. Known simply as the Main Building, it was renamed in 1995 in honour of Maurice Paterson, Rector of Moray House 1864-1907. Paterson's Land stands on part of the site of Moray House Garden, of which the nearby 17th century archway is a remnant. The garden's historic association with the Act of Union 1707 is recorded in a mosaic just inside the building.
