Duthie's Well is listed for its survival and prominent situation on Stonehaven's harbour. In the nineteenth century there were five wells in Stonehaven's Old Town, Duthie's Well is the only survival. The Duthie family, who made their money from ship building and the manufacture of rope, helped fund the building of the well. Captain William Duthie, a Stonehaven merchant and shipowner, was one of the three first Commissioners (appointed in 1825) of Stonehaven Harbour.
