Elizabeth Crombie Duthie

Duthie Park offers a tranquil green space in Aberdeen, Scotland, found in the Ferryhill district close to the River Dee. This extensive parkland, covering 44 acres, was gratefully received by the council in 1881. It was a generous gift from Elizabeth Crombie Duthie of Ruthrieston, who wished to commemorate her uncle and brother. The land itself was acquired for £30,000 from the Arthurseat estate.

The former Deeside Railway once bordered the northern boundary of the park. Today, this historic route forms the foundation for the Deeside Way, a popular long-distance walking and cycling path, giving visitors a connection to the area's past.
