Title
Rosehill Farm
Description
A photograph, likely by James G. Kellas and from the early 1950s, showing Rosehill Hill Farm. The large scale Ordnance Survey map surveyed in 1867, those revised in 1899 and in 1924 show the farm located on the north side of Cairncry Road. Rosehill Quarries were located to the north of the farm buildings. The OS map surveyed in 1955 shows the farm surrounded by a modern housing estate. The buildings are then nos. 8, 10 and 12 Blackthorn Crescent. The farm buildings later appear to have made way for new housing developments on Blackthorn Crescent and no remains of the farm can be seen today. In the early 19th century the lands of Rosehill, along with Burnside and Ruthrieston, were acquired by Alexander Duthie, a successful advocate in Aberdeen, and later passed to his grandson Walter, a writer to the signet in Edinburgh. Walter was the uncle of Elizabeth Crombie Duthie, who donated Duthie Park to the people. See the latter's obituary in the <i>Evening Express</i> of 30th March 1885, page 3, for further detail.
