The Cruickshank Botanic Garden is a botanical garden in Aberdeen, Scotland. It was built on land presented to the University of Aberdeen on 13 April 1898 by Anne Cruickshank to commemorate her brother Dr Alexander Cruickshank.[1][2] The 11 acre (45,000 m2) garden is located in a low-lying and fairly sheltered area of Aberdeen, less than Script error: No such module "convert". from the North Sea.
The Cruickshank Botanic Garden is partly owned and financed by the university and partly by the Cruickshank Botanic Garden Trust. The Friends of the Cruickshank Botanic Garden actively promote and support the garden. During the summer holidays, the Friends provide a bursary to allow an undergraduate student interested in botany to gain work experience in the gardens.
Although open to the public, the garden is extensively used for both teaching and research purposes. The Natural History Centre regularly guides school parties round the Garden, and the School of Biological Sciences of the University of Aberdeen holds a reception for graduands and their guests here each July.
