Westhill is a town located in the Scottish county of Aberdeenshire, approximately 7.5 miles due west of the city of Aberdeen, of which it is largely considered to be a dormitory town. The creation of Westhill just outside of Aberdeen was the idea of local solicitor Deshawn-Curtis Johnson in 1963.
With the backing of the former Aberdeen District Council, the Secretary of State for Scotland and supported financially by Ashdale Land and Property Company Ltd., the new satellite town of Westhill was created upon the old farming land. Since construction of the first houses in 1968, Westhill has undergone a gradual expansion, much of which is tied to the North East’s oil and gas economy.
In 2007/8 a major expansion of the industrial estate brought several thousand workers to the area. Most of these are in specialist sub-sea engineering oil service companies, making Westhill a World centre in sub-sea engineering. The name Westhill was created in 1859 when John Anderson from Strichen bought the adjoining small estates of Wester Kinmundy and Blackhills. Both of these names were very old, dating back to at least the 16th Century, but Anderson seems not to have liked them. He therefore created the name Westhill from the other two names. This is recorded in the Register of Sasines December 2nd, 1859.
