Well, erected in the later 19th century within Duthie Park (NJ90SW0989). It is a rectangular-plan, finely finished grey granite well incorporating a drinking fountain, dog basin to the east and trough to the west, fed respectively by lion and leopard masks from the Aberdeen coat of arms. A scrolled pediment divides the drinking fountain and trough with an inscription to the east reading 'Erected to the memory of Alexander Taylor, Merchant in Aberdeen by his daughter, Jane Forbes Taylor, Morkeu, Cults' and to the west reading 'He prayeth best who loveth best all things both great and small', surmounted by an urn with carved masks. The well originally stood at the junction of Great Northern Road and Clifton Road (see NJ90NW1314).
