History
Woodside is bisected by Great Northern Road and the railway, which both head towards Inverness via the major towns to the north and west in rural Aberdeenshire. With the growth of Aberdeen, the ‘borders’ of Woodside have become indistinct, with completely different political, educational catchment and city planning boundaries. Adding to the confusion is the extensive new build of the mid twentieth century around Woodside. For example, Stewart Park was provided for the use of Woodside’s citizens more than a hundred years ago. Today, the park is regarded as part of Hilton.
By way of shorthand, Woodside stretches from the St. Machar to the Haudigaun roundabouts, and from the river Don to Clifton Road, although both Kittybrewster and Persley Den are often thought as de facto Woodside. Woodside has a population of around 4,500. For such a relatively small area, it has a surprisingly wide demographic.
