Duthie Park was gifted to the City of Aberdeen by Lady Elizabeth Duthie of Ruthrieston in 1881. Lady Duthie wanted to create a public park in memory of her uncle Walter and brother Alexander Duthie. She purchased the estate of Arthurseat by the banks of the River Dee for £30,000. A street called Sycamore Place was demolished to make room for the building and landscaping of the Duthie Park.
Not a competition[edit]
It should say impartially "exceeded by the Eden Project" and not "beaten". Beaten implies competition where none exists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.33.153 (talk) 01:45, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
