Title
Menzies Road
Description
After Victoria Road, and alongside Walker Road, Menzies Road was one of the first streets to be built in New Torry in the late 19th century. As the population of Aberdeen rapidly increased and advances were made in fishing technology there was a need for more housing in Torry. The road is named after the Menzies family, Lairds of Pitfodels. In 1785 ownership, following lengthy post-reformation disputes, the ownership of the lands of Torry were divided west and east respectively between the Menzies and the Town of Aberdeen. This image shows the junction of Menzies Road and Craig Place. The latter street leads down to the River Dee and the Wellington Suspension Bridge.
