Banff

A historic town on the north coast of Aberdeenshire, in the north-east of Scotland, Banff is a good centre for playing golf on the numerous courses in the area.

The historic coastal town of Banff, with its many finely restored 18th century buildings, is separated from the neighbouring village of Macduff by a pretty seven-arch bridge over the River Deveron.

Banff consists of a grand Georgian upper town and the older Scotstown by the harbour. William Adam's magnificent 1730 mansion Duff House operates as an outstation of the National Galleries of Scotland. The grounds of Duff House are extensive, offering pleasant parkland walks.
